I will try that, but I have no issues in XP and my hard drive is at least 2 1/2 years old and this issue has been around for even longer than that.

Doubt it's the reason for my issues.

I have also tried playing around with other schedulers and disk mounting options. I have tried writeback and journal mode. Writeback provides very minimal improvement, not enough to make it worth my while to run always. Changing between ATA and AHCI mode makes no difference as well as changing the scheduler from cfg to anticipatory or deadline.

I am testing this on a Dell Precision M6300 Laptop with SATA drive, but I have experienced this issue on all my various types of PC's since at least Ubuntu Gusty or Intrepid.
