Hi again,

as said in comment #50, I put a clone of the SSD, Seagate Momentus XT Hypbrid into the laptop.
As you can see, the system is running without any problems: no NCQ warnings, no problems after supspend, hibernation, docking.
And this this tlp enabled and ACPI powermanagement in the bios.

I also tested the SSD in a Thinkpad X201 yesterday evening which has the the same chipset.
There I had exact the same problems!

I filed a question in lenovos forum and the answer is clear:
nothing but trouble with the Samsung 840 series with this Cipset!
People did not have trouble with the 830 series and capacities of 256 GB:

The only drive which is guarantied by manufactor to run with the Thinkpad W510 with a capacity of more than 256GB (!) - there is none of this size in the hardware specifications mentioned by lenovo - is the crucial M500 480GB.

CONCLUSION
----------------------

I have to return the Samsung 840 Pro 512 GB (as I did with the Samsung 840 EVO) and have to state that it is not compatible with the Thinkpad W510 and the Intel 5/3400 Chipset and the BIOS 6NET84WW (1.45 ) 10/03/2012.

All efforts to get things running stable where - in the end - not successfull.

Probably this bug report might help to fix things in future kernels or lenovo will fix this.
Sorry that I can't wait until this will happen ;-)

Cheers, over and out.
Closing bug.
