  24       <div class="date">10th July 2013</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>A few days ago, I wrote about
  26 <a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/The_Thinkpad_is_dead__long_live_the_Thinkpad_X230_.html">the
  27 problems I experienced with my new X230 and its SSD disk</a>, which
  28 was dying during installation because it is unable to cope with
  29 sustained write.  My supplier is in contact with
  30 <a href="http://www.lenovo.com/">Lenovo</a>, and they wanted to send a
  31 replacement disk to try to fix the problem.  They decided to send an
  32 identical model, so my hopes for a permanent fix was slim.</p>
  33
  34 <p>Anyway, today I got the replacement disk and tried to install
  35 Debian Edu Wheezy with encrypted disk on it.  The new disk have the
  36 same firmware version as the original.  This time my hope raised
  37 slightly as the installation progressed, as the original disk used to
  38 die after 4-7% of the disk was written to, while this time it kept
  39 going past 10%, 20%, 40% and even past 50%.  But around 60%, the disk
  40 died again and I was back on square one.  I still do not have a new
  41 laptop with a disk I can trust.  I can not live with a disk that might
  42 lock up when I download a new
  43 <a href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Debian Edu / Skolelinux</a> ISO or
  44 other large files.  I look forward to hearing from my supplier with
  45 the next proposal from Lenovo.</p>
  46
  47 <p>The original disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
  48 11S0C38722Z1ZNME35X1TR, ISN: CVCV321407HB180EGN, SA: G57560302, FW:

  54 <p>The replacement disk is marked Intel SSD 520 Series 180 GB,
  55 11S0C38722Z1ZNDE34N0L0, ISN: CVCV315306RK180EGN, SA: G57560-302, FW:

  60
  61 <p>The only difference is in the first number (serial number?), ISN,
  62 SA, date and WNPP values.  Mentioning all the details here in case
  63 someone is able to use the information to find a way to identify the
  64 failing disk among working ones (if any such working disk actually
  65 exist).</p>
