The lock-ups were due to OS code and network issues. I haven't had a freeze since the December patch.
Now, your drive could be increasing the chances for the issue as it adds another layer of latency and connectivity. Meaning, the issue is not 100% fixed just really really minor now, but network and other connected items could make it more apparent for some users.
btw, even the gaf thread on this topic has died off almost completely as very few people still have any form of lock-ups. Its growing pains of a new system. Its gotten better already and will be gone eventually.
