Hi,

So if the power light was blinking, this indicates suspend (S3 state).
However, when resuming from suspend you should NOT see a POST; the
system should just resume into the OS without "rebooting", which is what
you seem to have observed.

This is strange behavior for sure, but to me it appears hardware-
related, not something triggered by checkbox.

Despite the drive's young age, hard drives can and do fail (I've had
server-grade drives fail after a couple of *days*). I'm glad that in
this instance you managed to get the drive accepted for replacement,
with the (admittedly much more serious) data loss left as a consequence.

I'd be interested in a manual suspend/resume test, once you get the new
drive installed and working. Either suspend, and then resume the system,
manually, or use a command:

sudo pm-suspend suspends and will require you to tap the power button to
wake up

sudo rtcwake -m mem -s 60  will suspend and auto-wake after 60 seconds,
this is similar to what checkbox does but shouldn't be harmful to the
system in any way.

Please let me know how things behave after this.
