    Aaaaarrrggghhhhh...i knew i should have gone for the 512gb Samsung 830 or 840 Pro :( I wanted more capacity so foolishly replaced my trouble free 256gb Samsung 830 SSD with the 480GB Corsair Neutron GTX SSD on my Thinkpad X220 notebook and whilst the Neutron GTX is hyper-fast, its giving me a problem. When i try to shut down Windows 7 (Pro 64 bit OEM), the notebook freezes at the "windows shutting down" screen (happens around 1 in 5 times) and i'm forced to remove the battery or hold down the power button to switch off the notebook. When i switch on the notebook again i get the message:

    "2100: Detection Error on HDD0 (Main HDD)"

    Pressing escape a few times does finally take me into Windows and everything works ok until i get the same issue again a few shutdowns later. I've formatted the SSD and re-installed Windows 7 again (in AHCI mode) but the problem still exists. This issue did NOT exist with the Samsung 830 SSD. The BIOS is up to date, ALL hardware drivers/firmware are up to date. I'm thinking perhaps the Corsair SSD is faulty so will test it in my desktop to see if i can replicate the issue. But before i do that, can anyone suggest other possible solutions?

    I think i've managed to pinpoint the cause of the detection error...it was the Intel Proset software for my Intel N6300 wifi card which i downloaded/installed through Lenovo update. I uninstalled this, then installed the wireless driver only for my card through Intel's website and surprise surprise i no longer get the 2100:detection error. So it appears there was nothing wrong with the Neutron GTX after all...I owe you a humble apology Corsair :(
