It's been through many many power off/on cycles; I never upgraded the firmware for the SSD, but then I haven't upgraded it on this machine either (identical, except still working fine )

My question really is - is this an SSD-only problem, or is it possible/likely to be wider spread, and therefore not soluble with a new drive?

And my query about 'what to look for' wasn't regarding make, but rather... what format/size/spec? I am the IT department, but not through choice!
