Something different.  The problem with the X2100M2 and X2200M2 will
only occur with specific Samsung disk models, in my case the HD103UJ
1 TB disk.  The system will work fine, until suddenly the disk freezes
up.  The disk is then no longer recognized at all.  It will not respond
to any command whatsoever.

After a power cycle, the disks is fine -- until the next freeze.

I think the same happened to some people on the 'net with the 750GB
variant of the same disk, but I have only seen it with the 1 TB type.
