Sorry for the double post but I might have found the reason why unRaid was randomly crashing: the cache drive would randomly disconnect itself making unRaid unable to write the log file (as the syslog server was set on a share which prefers the cache) hence why no errors. 
I can’t say if it’s the drive itself or the SATA cable, but in the meantime I’ve removed the cache altogether and I’ve already observed the behaviour while mounted as external drive (can’t remember the name of the plug-in).
 
I will replace the drive as currently without a cache the system is understandably slower, but I’m wondering if there is a way to notify or check somehow if the drive has disconnected itself or not (it does “reconnect” automatically by itself)? Basically I’m planning to replace the SATA cable and keep it connected (doing nothing), if that was the issue, great, otherwise I’ll have to send the disk back.
 
Again, sorry for the double post but I wanted to share my experience in case other users encounter the same issue.
