It is all right to hold a conversation, but you should let go of it now
and then.

 Its in the identify data, however I'm not aware of any problem Samsung
 drives in reports so far.

Looks like a hardware problem. After a hard powerdown got it
recognizable again, it now manages to have a read speed of 1/2 MB/sec --
as opposed to its three brethren which are approx. 111 times faster.

brusque, your character.

Hi,

 Please post the result of 'lspci -nn' and full boot log.  Samsung
 firmwares tend to be pretty good but I've seen earlier ones occasionally
 lock up after certain PHY events.  Removing power and reapplying puts it
 back into sane state.
 
Not this one, as reported in my earlier mail -- unless you redefine sane.

I'll try to elucidate something from it after it's replaced.

When the polls are overwhelmingly unfavorable, (a) ridicule and dismiss them
or (b) stress the volatility of public opinion.
