Thanks Vishal, I'll try that. The SSD is a Transcend TS64GSSD25-M: I
needed a PATA drive as it's an old laptop and that was the best model I
found.

I notice that your patch[1] talks about ATA errors in dmesg. How do you
identify those if there are any? I don't find anything that looks out of
place when I run: dmesg | grep -i ata

Anyway, I'll try to dig a bit deeper and will post my findings on the
forums which, as Luke says, is probably the better place for that sort
of discussions.
