You may have made an unfortunate selection with the Samsung SSD. Though there have been success stories with them on these forums, there also have been many problems with them. Note that the Samsung web site does not mention Mac compatibility. You might contact Samsung technical support and see what they have to say.

My Macbook pro can't create partitions and exits with input/output error. In any other machine the SSD works fine, tested in 3machines already. The SATA cable is also working OK as if I place the original apple harddrive it works also OK.

Are these 3 machines all Macs? Have you tried testing the SSD externally via USB?
