Here are the answers to your questions 1- Whether the power light was pulsating when the system went to sleep.
===Yes, the power light was pulsating when the system went to sleep 2- Whether indeed, upon trying to wake up the system, it acted as if it had just rebooted (showing the disk error as part of BIOS POST) or if Ubuntu actually showed some sort of error and *then* you rebooted. ===The first time on resume, the laptop POSTed correctly, Ubuntu booted, but without showing anything on the laptop screen. I could see the harddisk lamp running like crazy for around 3 minutes. Since it wasn't continuing the boot I shutdown the laptop again using the 4-second power button hold. When I booted again, the BIOS showed no-disk 3- The other thing I forgot to mention that is important. ===I had a bios_grub labeld partition of 16mb, a BTRFS Primary partition with two subvolumes @ and @home and one Linux Swap partition. 4. Drive age === the drive is only 4 months old, so really should not have any issues of the type you described unless there was a manufacturing defect. OCZ has agreed to RMA the drive so luckily the financial loss is kept to a minimum.
