[SOLVED] ATA errors with ADATA SP920SS on Thinkpad T450s

Hi,

I just moved my ADATA SP920SS to my new notebook, a Lenovo Thinkpad T450s.

I experienced random crashes and freezes, so I looked at my kernel logs and they showed.

The problem does not occur on my old machine, so I guess it is not a problem of the hard drive per se.

There is a firmware upgrade, I could try to apply, but the changelog is not very verbose on the actual improvements. Also, all data is going to be erased so I first have to backup .5TB of data.

Is there anything else I'm missing here?

Re: [SOLVED] ATA errors with ADATA SP920SS on Thinkpad T450s

What system and which kernel did your old machine run? Some chipsets have problems with the power saving modes, try setting the SATA control power management to max_performance: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Po … Management

Re: [SOLVED] ATA errors with ADATA SP920SS on Thinkpad T450s

hmm, i also have my os (i.e. arch on current kernel) on that hard drive.

It seems like the default behavior did not change when upgrading to kernel 4.15, since link_power_management_policy is still set to max_performance.

The firmware update solved it!
