Do you think this problem only is something particular in the servers of the author of that article, or should this be interpreted as: linux + samsung 850 = you will lose your data? Thanks...

Unless you run the latest kernel, I would disable TRIM.

I have the same drive in a laptop. There were lots of trim errors in the kernel logs, with debian so I ended up disabling trim.
