when I try to defragment the hard drive it crashes half way through. Blue screen. Error reporting gives the message - problem between Windows and Intel storage driver - no additional information available. Any suggestions? 
If it is a SMART drive run a SMART utility and see what it shows up.

How to know if it is SMART?
Now that is the question!  But a visit to the manufacturers site may help

BTW: is it still under warranty?

Some drives may be on 3 years warranty and some even 5 years.

Now that is confidence in a product :)
