    Hi there, this is my first time writing in this forum, please, let me congratulate and thank all the people behind this.

    Recently I read the news about certain U2 song prone to crash the hard drive, and reading at the plausible causes there seems to be one which might be the case,

    well, those with a ss aao, try this, go to lets say, grooveshark, play a song at full volume and dim the screen to the minimun, you will see how it starts to flick to the tune of your choice, it struggles to get enough power to keep the backlight stable, let alone a hard drive!!! This is happening to me with my BRAND NEW ssd aao in its stock configuration, running linpus.

    Haven't tried with charger connected

    Hope this helps

    There's no concrete evidence to back up his theory and it's not exactly reproducible. However there are much better theory on this forum if you look around.
