what file system are you using? ssd drives have different characteristics that need to be accomadated (including a relatively slow write process which is obvious as soon as the buffer is full), and never, never put a swap partition on it, the high activity will wear it out rather quickly. might also check cables, often a problem particularly if they are older sata cables being run at a possibly higher than rated speed.
When working with a Cubieboard SoC (or most of the other armv7 boards), you tend to have everything hanging out: http://medon.htt-consult.com/~rgm/cubieboard/cubietower-2.JPG
I have checked the cables and they are all tight.
in any case, reformating it might not be a bad idea, and you can always use the command line program badblocks to exercise and test it.
I will have to look into that.
Here's a thought: I've not done this, but could you use smartctl to check the drive?
