Given the date of your post, I would have expected someone to respond to it before this -- but since that has not happened, I will take a shot at it ...
If I understand what you're saying is that the G1 works fine with both the Samsung SSD and the Crucial SSD, but the G2 only works with the Crucial SSD.
There clearly must be some compatibility issue between the Samsung SSD and the G2 -- but I have no idea what that could be.
