+		<description>&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, I wrote about
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html&quot;&gt;the
+problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk&lt;/a&gt;, which
+was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
+sustained write.  My supplier is in contact with
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lenovo.com/&quot;&gt;Lenovo&lt;/a&gt;, and they wanted to send a
+replacement disk to try to fix the problem.  They decided to send an
+identical model, so my hopes for a permanent fix was slim.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Anyway, today I got the replacement disk and tried to install
+Debian Edu Wheezy with encrypted disk on it.  The new disk have the
+same firmware version as the original.  This time my hope raised
+slightly as the installation progressed, as the original disk used to
+die after 4-7% of the disk was written to, while this time it kept
+going past 10%, 20%, 40% and even past 50%.  But around 60%, the disk
+died again and I was back on square one.  I still do not have a new
+laptop with a disk I can trust.  I can not live with a disk that might
+lock up when I download a new
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian Edu / Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; ISO or
+other large files.  I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
+the next proposal from Lenovo.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
+11S0C38722Z1ZNME35X1TR, ISN: CVCV321407HB180EGN, SA: G57560302, FW:
+LF1i, 29MAY2013, PBA: G39779-300, LBA 351,651,888, LI P/N: 0C38722,
+Pb-free 2LI, LC P/N: 16-200366, WWN: 55CD2E40002756C4, Model:
+SSDSC2BW180A3L 2.5&quot; 6Gb/s SATA SSD 180G 5V 1A, ASM P/N 0C38732, FRU
+P/N 45N8295, P0C38732.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The replacement disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
+11S0C38722Z1ZNDE34N0L0, ISN: CVCV315306RK180EGN, SA: G57560-302, FW:
+LF1i, 22APR2013, PBA: G39779-300, LBA 351,651,888, LI P/N: 0C38722,
+Pb-free 2LI, LC P/N: 16-200366, WWN: 55CD2E40000AB69E, Model:
+SSDSC2BW180A3L 2.5&quot; 6Gb/s SATA SSD 180G 5V 1A, ASM P/N 0C38732, FRU
+P/N 45N8295, P0C38732.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The only difference is in the first number (serial number?), ISN,
+SA, date and WNPP values.  Mentioning all the details here in case
+someone is able to use the information to find a way to identify the
+failing disk among working ones (if any such working disk actually
+exist).&lt;/p&gt;
