The HDD parks its heads when it isn't being utilized. Usually so called "green" HDDs does this to "consume" power, that's why you are experiencing the sudden freezing.

Just turn off all your power consumption options, by that I also mean disable hibernating, don't turn off HDD, no auto standby, etc.
You're running a desktop, not a laptop. So, no need for any power savings. It makes no sense as the consumption is too little to be saving you any electric bills.

yah gonna try.... before this is suspect my secondary hdd causing the freeze becoz it automatic goes into hibernation after 20min (becoz they is still some background paging stuff running) so i suspect it was the reason for the freeze. But damn it wasnt. Check lots of forum online today, will try the disable hdd into hibernation again.

intel 330 best value... im using M4 very stable... never have any issue.. my previous 60gb is Cosair force 3 always blue screen..

I use this list, ALWAYS up to date. Mostly for Lowyat...

Hardware List

RM 350 for SSD, not sure bout msata, at least in Lowyat plaza. Check in the link provided above to see which shop sell em.

Crucial got it's 5K hours bug fixed in latest firmware, so make sure to update it ASAP. Intel SSD is reliable, but with the latest '8 MB bug' and lack of Intel response to it....well, your take. We have Samsung too, but it might cost a bit more.

Hey Skycrawler, add me to the list too! ^^ Crucial M4 128GB user here reporting!

yup , never had any BSOD with Crucial M4

Samsung 830 SSD 4 PB written.

hi, you mean the intel '8 MB bug' happens on intel 330 series?

No, the Intel '8mb' bug happened on the 320 series. A thing of the past, was annoying when it happened though.
