For the record, due to this bug we limited automatic fstrim to Samsung and Intel drives for now: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/2.20.1-5.1ubuntu14

I can't say I like that much as it excludes a lot of other "good" SSDs from being trimmed by default, but better safe than sorry. We can extend the list of known-good models/brands, or get more evidence that this problem affects so few devices that we should rather use a blacklist approach, or we find that this SSD model is broken anyway and ignore the bug (for example, it's likely that this also throws up if more than application is doing large I/O on it at the same time?)
