Be sure to check for the latest firmware for the SSD and flash it before |
| 22 |
even using it. Also check for any well known issues with the particular |
| 23 |
SSD. And a decent backup strategy is never a bad thing ;-) |

With that flaky ssd I had scripts to quickly rsync the partitions to |
| 26 |
hdd-based storage so I could rather quickly switch back and boot from |
| 27 |
there. That ssd worked and looked OK for weeks and then *ZIP* changed |
| 28 |
its mind and its size to 0 bytes ... that wasn't too funny. |

The ssd in my thinkpad is completely robust and problemfree. |
