  • You need to check that your new SSD firmware is up to date. You ARE having disk problems... or a bad SATA connection to the drive. – heynnema Apr 09 '19 at 14:31
  • Edit your question and show me the output of sudo fdisk -l. – heynnema Apr 09 '19 at 15:06
  • Hi, thank you for the reply. Edited the question. What do you mean by bad SATA connection, physically you mean? Have to mention that this is a secondary drive I added to the empty SATA slot in my Asus S14 (S410 UN), it is held in place by screws to a metal rack, which is in turn screwed to the laptops body. – Nima Ghoroubi Apr 09 '19 at 22:34
  • Yes, I do mean the physical SATA cable, or where it plugs in at either end. I put together a quick answer... things to check first. More will come later... – heynnema Apr 10 '19 at 04:05
  • Please see Update #1 in my answer. – heynnema Apr 10 '19 at 22:04

I am not sure, but it could be because of bad sectors.

See if this would help - https://serverfault.com/questions/407007/what-do-these-disk-errors-in-syslog-mean

Or - How do I check the health of a SSD?

  • Hey, thank you for the reply. It is a brand new SSD, and I checked with SMART data and self test and there is no issues with the health of the drive. – Nima Ghoroubi Apr 09 '19 at 10:01

  1. You may have a bad SATA cable, or SATA connection on the rear of the drive. What brand drive is this?

  2. You have a lot of snap applications installed. They really slow things down, especially boot times.

  3. Open the Disks app, select your hard drive, go to the "hamburger" icon, select SMART Data & Tests. Observe the data, take a screenshot, and put it on imgur.com for me to see. Then run the SMART tests.

  4. Then, lets check your filesystem...

For 18.04 or newer...

  • boot to a Ubuntu Live DVD/USB
  • open a terminal window
  • type sudo fdisk -l
  • identify the /dev/XXXX device name for your "Linux Filesystem"
  • type sudo fsck -f /dev/XXXX # replacing XXXX with the number you found earlier
  • repeat the fsck command if there were errors
  • type reboot

Update #1:

Go to https://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/ssdmanager and download their SSD Manager app (requires Windows to run), and check your SSD firmware.

  • Hi, sorry for the late reply, been busy with studies.
    1. It is a kingston SA400S37480G

    2. I am new to linux, will read into that

    3. My system crashed very badly today, not passing the emergency mode no matter what I do. I managed to get up in recovery mode to get my codes and projects out before I do a fresh install.

    4. I will try and see what this does.

    5. this piece of software indicates there is a C3 software update while I have C2 version, so I will update before I install a fresh batch.

  • see the update in question please, after the fsck command the system loaded again, after the crash i had today, which stated i was in emergency mode. I have put the results of the fsck in my post. – Nima Ghoroubi Apr 18 '19 at 15:58
  • @NimaGhoroubi keep the fsck instructions for future reference. I didn't see your SMART Data screenshot. Load it to imgur.com. Please. Backup your important data, then update the SSD firmware asap. Report back. – heynnema Apr 18 '19 at 16:15
  • Yes, sorry for the delay on image, https://imgur.com/Gpj2jxz, please tell me if there is any trouble seeing it. The temperature is wrong in this image, and wont change if i rerun the test. It shows a different temperature when I check the disk in terminal. hddtemp shows this : /dev/sda2: KINGSTON SA400S37480G: 25°C – Nima Ghoroubi Apr 19 '19 at 13:18
  • second note, I updated firmware, and as you know ran the fsck, so far no lags or freezes, I read significant improvement in reaction time in the OS. Too soon to judge but it might have solved the issue. I will keep you posted here again if issues rise. – Nima Ghoroubi Apr 19 '19 at 13:21
  • @NimaGhoroubi great news! – heynnema Apr 19 '19 at 13:23
  • Thank you for your amazing work! Much appreciated. – Nima Ghoroubi Apr 19 '19 at 13:23
