A few hours ago I got a new Samsung EVO 840 Pro. I made a clone of the actual system.
I booted up, stress tested the system (4GB file video conversion while running a virtual machine, ...).
It runs for 3 hours now. Not any single problem so far.
MY PERSONAL CONCLUSION:
DON'T USE THE SAMSUNG EVO 840 INSIDE THE THINKPAD W510.
SAMSUNG EVO 840 PRO (!) WORKS FINE.
Probably other older Thinkpad models are affected as well.
Please understand, that I could not afford a 350 € harddisc and a1500 € laptop just for testing purposes any more.
This is a productive system.

We should change the status to "won't fix".
