Hi dep,
Sorry, I had misunderstood. I totally share your feelings. Samsung did not
do the legwork to figure out which chipsets their controller works with.
In the openSUSE thread I got the recommendation that phison controllers
work well with AMD chipsets, but I have a hard time finding SSDs with a
phison controller.

I have no issue with you or anyone on this list over this, and I read the
link top to bottom. All that it said was that the problem always ocurs
with Samsung drives and at least almost always occurs with AMD chipsets. I
have, and have no intention of replacing, an AMD chipset. It is not brand
new, so it is old by some conceivable use of the word. I am buying an SSD
drive. Given the facts as stated, the one sensible conclusion is not to
get a Samsung drive, so I didn't. It is, it seems to me, up to AMD and
Samsung to convince me otherwise, not to me to get in touch with them and
ask to be convinced. Particularly because the Samsungs are ~50 percent
more expensive than other choices among SSDs from brands that I perceive
to be reliable.
Samsung doesn't seem to want my custom and I do not care to give it to
them, so agreement is reached. But wouldn't it behoove both AMD and
Samsung to be as specific as possible in narrowing down the parts that
create the conflict? I have an AMD-based motherboard, so to me Samsung is
out. There is surely someone out there who has Samsung drives and as a
result doesn't want to take a chance on AMD motherboards.
