Confirm thatintel-microcodeis installed...dpkg -l intel-microcode | grep ii. Also, describe your SSD/HDD configuration. If SSD, describe make/model #.

@heynnema Thanks for the comments. I ran the dpkg command and no packages found matching intel-microcode. Disk config is 256 PCIe SSD (system) + 1TB SATA HDD (storage). Not able to retrieve info for SSD seems ubuntu cannot recognize the brand and model. Weird. System running okay on SSD.

Since you have Intel processors, installintel-microcodewithsudo apt-get updateandsudo apt-get install intel-microcode. Usesudo lshw -C diskand see if it'll tell you about the SSD... at lease the model #, and maybe the manufacturer... then go to the manufacturer's web site and check for updated firmware... very important. You should also check for an updated BIOS for your computer.

@heynnema Thanks. I installed the microcode and lshw only shows my 1T Seagate HDD. I tried sudo parted -l, it shows the SSD but model unknown with only a serial number (only numbers cannot figure out brand). I will try other ways to figure out the SSD model. Unfortunately I dont have a windows on my machine. Thanks.

Is this a desktop machine? Is the 256 PCIe SSD visible that you can find a make/model # on it?
