Some controller chips just don't like SSD's. I have a LSI controller
here, that can only support hard drives. It see's the SSD is happer to
write data to it ect, but after some time it start's generating errors
like mad. I've also seen some that will only address a certian max TB
size of drive.

Put the SSd on a standard controller (ie: mb) and run the software diag
from the maker of the drive and it reports no error's at all.
