https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpinRite#Solid_state_drives I mean, even if that card was not inserted properly, you would have had an issue. You should have tested that ram before reseat, because same thing there. So many peoples comments here are just hearsay. Hard-locks are usually bad hardware or incompatibility and in that case you are usually happy when it is happening to get some kernel messages/dumps that can help you out. I am glad that you solved your problem but is bad to make any conclusions that are not based on the scientific method. _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
