Read in particular the paragraph containing the word unfortunate.

Have you had about 19 of these freezes? You said you've had the problem with 
lock screen which implies inactivity. I wonder if the system is 
sleeping/hibernating and the drive isn't waking up in time and dbus or gdm or 
gnome-shell are getting irritated. I'd ssh in remotely, run journalctl --follow 
and see what's displayed the next time you have a freeze.

Thanks for the link and key word!

I've started to lose count, but I think it's been 12 or 13 lock ups. However, one of those failed to recover or instantly re-failed after restarting dbus. At least, this is how many I noticed. Does the number 19 come from:

=====
0x0009  2           19  Transition from drive PhyRdy to drive PhyNRdy
0x000a  2           19  Device-to-host register FISes sent due to a COMRESET
=====

If so, is this a sign of a bad drive? If so, could gnome/dbus/whatever handle the failure better?

I just reinstalled on the Samsung last night. As soon as I get a crash, I will run 'journalctl --follow' and 'dmesg' and report whatever is shown.

Thanks again!
