On my x230, after waking up I have to switch back to the TTY on which X 
is running with Ctrl + F. Somehow this seems to reset due to the state 
of sleep. Try it - maybe you are lucky and it will help you too.

Did you use WAPBL (mount option log) on the 500/1000 GB drives and not 
on the 2000 GB drive? Then the difference could be due to journaling. 20 
minutes fsck does not seem to me as long for a 2 TB FFS partition, 
depending on how full it is.

Kind regards
