I know this isn't a support system for Linux Mint, but for what it's worth I put in another drive just to see if Linux Mint 15 with 3.8.0-19-generic would act the same way. Sure enough, it locked up on day 2 of usage. Considering LM15 is based on Ubuntu this really may not be definitive whatsoever, but I wanted to throw it on the table.
About two weeks ago I was running openSUSE 12.3 on this very unit and I had 0 problems whatsoever. That said, openSUSE was also based on the 3.7 kernel, not 3.8 like Ubuntu 13.04 or Linux Mint 15. I'm going to reinstall Ubuntu 13.04, run all the updates and all of that fun stuff, and then install kernel 3.9 to see if the problem persists. Despite my intention to fire up 3.9 and see what happens, part of me is wondering if the 3.8 issue traveled into 3.9 as well. To better isolate this question, is there a way I can downgrade Ubuntu 13.04's kernel version to 3.7? I can't help but to wonder if 3.8 and 3.9 are problematic that 3.7 can be used as a reference point.
