Thanks Christopher for your answer. I could not test the upstream kernel due to massive problems with the nvidia card. And I first wanted to the test the standard distribution - as advised. Sorry for the wrong tagging this way ..
Nevertheless: tomorrow I try to return the drive, because it turns out, that several other people using Thinkpads have the same problem with exact this drive, the the Samsung 840 EVO. Other versions like the Samsung EVO 840 PRO (!) series, the Crucial M4 or Plextor Model M5P are reported to work even in older machines. - http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/309288-bsod-after-few-minutes-5-55-minutes-samsung-ssd-840-evo.html - [GERMAN] http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/168841-Freezes-nach-Einbau-einer-neuen-SSD?p=1698795#post1698795 Due to the fact, that it is not likely, that lenovo will fix this issue in the BIOS or that the kernel can handle this, I am returning the drive and use a compatible model. I am not a kernel guy, but I don't think, that a real hardware problem can be fixed?! If I am wrong please correct me and I will give it a try again. Meanwhile I replaced today the 500 GB Samsung 840 EVO with a 500GB Seagate Momentus XT Hybird, which layed arround. It is working like a charm without any errors ... I will investigate further.
