I just got a brand new Samsung 850 Pro SSD, and I would like to install Ubuntu 14.04 onto it.
I have read some pretty ugly stories of data loss with the 850 series SSDs when using Linux due to bugs in the kernel, as well as bugs in the TRIM operation.
I have done my research, but most of what I'm finding is very outdated. For example, see this question, and this Reddit thread, as well as this one.
My question is, what is the current status? Have all major the bugs been worked out yet?
