boot - EXT4-fs error on Toshiba Tecra with WD SSD

I'm not a new user of Ubuntu (8 years and counting) but this is my first post, as I cannot seem to find an answer to this particular problem. I had Ubuntu 18.04 installed on a Toshiba Tecra and fitted a Western Digital Green 120Gb SSD. All went well initially, then after a while at boot it would start to fail with the error message




INSERT DISK IN DRIVE THEN PRESS ANY KEY.




I thought perhaps the SSD was a dud, so I replaced it, reinstalled 18.04, same happened. I then tried a clean install of 19.10 (Budgie) and all was going well for a few weeks and then yesterday it crashed out and displayed an





EXT4-fs error




related to the SSD (I presume). See screenshot. I am running 19.10 on an old HP630 with the same WD SSD and it's giving me no problems at all.



Any ideas what the problem is on my Toshiba? Thanks!
