Samsung SSD Problems in Macbook 5,3


hey (first post here!),

sooo picked samsung 830 series ssd (256 gig) 15inch macbook pro 5,3. when first got cloned existing hd , put in , seemed work brilliantly. noticed occasional spinning beach ball of death , occasional kernel panics. updated firmware on drive , optimized with drive magician , still being flakey! ended wiping entire drive , doing clean install of lion see if improve it. once again worked fine until started locking , freezing on everything. last night had complete meltdown , repeatedly kernel panicked no matter seemed (i trying watch video!) came point barely boot , last long enough copy few files off of it. ended having wipe drive again , first attempt of installing osx failed , went , zero'ed out of data , got snow leopard install. i'm , running hesitant because can't seem figure out problem is.

i'm thinking either ssd defective or sata cable motherboard bad? seems running fine , boots extremely fast if run speed test (screenshot attached) doesn't seem perform should. have searched forum , read threads ssd , looks few people have had problems can't seem find solution haven't tried.

macbook in question 2.8 ghz, 4gig of ram, etc. thing has been changed new ssd.

appreciated, sorry seem write longest posts in world...
