Hi, [Crucial M500 - a hope? - NO] -------------------------------------------
after returning the Samsung and found this thread in the lenovo forum: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W510-SSD-My- Story/m-p/1402387 my hope was the Crucial M500 should be compatible to the W510: http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=AC617B31A5CA7304 Unfortunately, I encounterd the very same problems like with the other SSD's. The ata port hard resets and the SSD goes into read-only state after a certain amount of time. More or less stable I could get things running with turning PCIe powermanagement off in the BIOS an using libata.force=noncq as kernel boot parameters. Nevertheless the system freezes from time to time. I will open a new bug report for this drive as soon as the [Contacting Lenovo support] ------------------------------------------- The lenovo support stated, that only very special SSDs from Intel with a capacity of 160GB are compatible with this device. So no help from lenovo. [FURTHER TESTING] ----------------------------- Since the fact, that an older drive, the Samsung 830 is running fine in a laptop (Lenovo X201, i7) with the same laptop, I tested all drives (Samsung 840 EVO, PRO and the Crucial M500 480) in the X201. Same problem there. So it IS DEFINITELY an incompatibility with the drive and the machine / chipset / kernel. Within the next weeks, I will try an older Crucial M4 256GB in the W510. This is an older drive model like the Samsung 830 and probably will work. [OPINION] --------------- Comming across certain threads, this problem is very common an occurs here and there with certain chipsets. I don't think it is a problem of the linux kernel, but probably could be fixed? I will post my results about the Crucial M4 and the problems with the Crucial M500 and link here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1269777 Title: [ Ubuntu 14.04 - Lenovo W510 - SSD Samsung 840 PRO 512GB] Sudden Read- Only Filesystem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1269777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
