After a few minutes I turned everything off and on again. Fortunately it boots normal again.. but I guess I don't try this again. Also because I read the same on a different forum where the SSD ended up doing nothing at all anymore.

You were using the Bootable USB/DVD method or the Windows method? In an OS disk or non OS disk? If you try to update the firmware of your Samsung 830 on-the-fly with the Windows method, being your OS disk, you'll get a BSOD...but also, you'll update your firmware
It' not recommended to update firmware for anyhting sensitive(MB Bios, disk. graphics card, vacuum cleaner...)through windows. You can update your Samsung 830 firmware through Windows without problems if it is a secondary disk, but that's not possible without getting a BSOD if it is your OS disk.
