Comment 22 for bug 1161985

So i've been having this problem for a long time, with my OCZ Vertex 4 which i have since swapped for a 120GB Seagate Barracuda with an IDE to SATA converter. Still getting the same problem which causes my system to hang, and with the SSD to compleetly die reset, lose the disk, hang.

Here is some of my syslog if it helps

Is there a workaround i could use to stop the OS sending this SMART command to the drive?
