Just one problem. Quite regularly the machine becomes unresponsive. I asume because of something reading from or writing from the SSD, because it always happens when the disk activity indicator is lit and it stops immediately when it's turned off again. Sometimes it lasts as long as 20-30 seconds, just when using Firefox, OOo or similar. Any ideas on how to deal with this? And just as interresting; what's the cause?
