Hi, I just bought a 240GB Kingston SDD to replace my older 1T Toshiba HDD in my laptop, and I'm using my HDD as secondary within a caddy in place of the optical drive. Problem is, the laptop won't shut down/restart properly, it powers off fans, but the lights are still on and it just hangs till I force-turn it off. I've seen people complaining about Windows 10 booting, so I formatted the SSD and reverted to Windows 7, but no luck. My current guess is that the windows dynamic partitions might be the culprit, as I merged two partitions on my HDD together and was forced to create dynamic partitions. I tried a Debian live USB, and it's able to mount the basic partition, not the dynamic ones (expected), and I can properly shut down/restart in that case. If I remove the HDD completely, even windows 7 can handle it. Any thoughts?

I have seen using a disk caddy in a thinkpad have similar problems. Get most current chipset drivers for your laptop from laptop vender.
(try running without the caddy and see if you still have problems)
There are some advanced power management knobs you can try turning to see if they change the shutdown behavior.
