That one is relatively recent, but all it shows is timeouts.  There are
lots of potential causes.

Without dmesg output, we don't know what firmware version he's running, and
that could be an issue.  As can SATA drives behind an expander.

This one shows lots of IOC terminated errors, but it looks like his problem
was solved by upgrading his SSD firmware.

What was your topology?  i.e. mps(4) controller connected directly to the
drives, or via an expander?  SAS or SATA drives?

An asr(4) controller?
