[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1046330, member: 176704"] I would not have thought this could happen - given the hardware/software differences - but it did: The main Samsung NP355V5C (AMD A8 & Win 7 Ultimate) laptop was fitted with a 500Gb Samsung Evo 850 SSD before Xmas and spent all the first 3 weeks like that on the desk in the office - but then I took it to an event where I was giving a presentation, and it got to the desktop and then "hung". Had to (with the aid of someone else's nail file!) remove the cover over the disk and reseat the SSD - and then it worked fine, although I firmly "wedged" the disk in place (because there were no fixing points - even for the old HDD!) when I got home (and no similar trouble since then). My little ASUS 1225B (AMD E70 & Win 7 HP) netbook was fitted with a 240Gb Sandisk "SSD Plus" in Jan this year, and that SSD was screwed into the old HDD frame which, in turn, was screwed on to the m/b. That's been moved about a lot and never gave any real trouble until this morning - when it too got to the desktop and hung about 30 mins later. Had to take that one apart (far more tricky than the Samsung) and reseat the drive on the connector - and it too has worked fine since then! Please do have a laugh at my "expense" - but has anyone else had similar experiences as I rarely (if ever) have with previous laptops & netbooks with HDDs? [/QUOTE]
