The 840 EVO joined the club with firmware EXT0DB6Q, which itself is a nasty little hack around a fundamental design problem with the tightly packed NAND cells.

Linux 4.0.5 ships with the patch linked above, but for a while you had to roll with a kernel built from source.

EDIT: The blatant file corruption issues only manifested after updating to firmware EXT0DB6Q.

Is there a list of firmware versions with release dates somewhere? I can't seem to find a changelog.
