I once was a huge fan of Samsung. But with the EVO disaster and this one, I really regret to have bought one of these.

The EVO was well covered, but these being from the PRO line it's even worse... Intel SSD have been praised for a long time, they seem the only stable brand around.

Yes, it seems. Still I don't like them much, since they changed to compressing controllers, as much I know, SandForce controllers which have a mixed reputation, as much I remember. But it looks, that Samsung is not better.

The latest EVO firmware have this issue as well, so it's probably a bug in their shared codebase for the controllers.
