I can report the same issue in Lubuntu 14.04 32 bit:trying to benchmark my SSD fails after few seconds with the message:
#benchmark error (read only)#
Error seeking to offset 2329718784 (g-io-error-quark, 13)

Interestingly,I've tried with a live CD of Lucid 10.04 and it can perform the read-only benchmark,can't tell about the read & write benchmark because the SSD is already partitioned.

On a side note,I also can't run self-tests on this disk with Lubuntu,even if it SMART data are apparently available in Disk Utilit,I'm getting this error message:
 #disk self-test error#
sk_disk_smart_self_test: Operation not supported (udisks-error-quark, 0)
