I mean, the GRUB boot menu starts from the first disk. That's the HDD  
right now.

I have installed Ubuntu 19.04 on both the HDD and the SSD. But I am  
*not* able to reproduce the corruption problem, on either disk. The  
computer appears to run fine.

I want the latest Gnome, therefore I've chosen Ubuntu 19.04. But  
that's not relevant for troubleshooting the problem, or is it?

But the first point release, 19.04.1 should be more stable. Or..?

I don't quite get it. Why do you need an LTS version? To rule out  
sources of error?

That's the problem, you can't know it's stable. (You only can know  
when it's NOT stable.)

The ubuntu 19.04 running here, seems to be stable, but...
