Except when it has Lenovo firmware.  Avoid Lenovo-issued Intel SSDs like the
plague.

Here's one report (there are several):
http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Intel_SSD_520_Series_180_GB_with_Lenovo_firmware_still_lock_up_from_sustained_writes.html

(and yes, the lockups happen with the latest SSD firmware, I crosschecked
that: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-69806).

Intel-issued Intel SSDs work just fine, though.
