So I 've been dealing with an issue recently, where at random times, the system will just freeze, becomes unresponsive, can't access gui, can't remote in, all apps says no connection to host etc etc.

Finally got a syslog of it, after a month if it doing it within 4-6 days, it's attached in comment.

So it looks like all was fine, until around 11.58, then it had the same thing happening until it seems to have frozen at 2.51am.

Is this one bad drive, a bad cable, or a bad sata card?

Full current syslog attached

syslog-Elle-NAS.log

There are multiple controllers related issues logged, and there's appears to be one with SATA port multipliers, please post the complete diagnostics.

I can't access it at all when it's done it, so can't pull diagnostics at that point, but here's a current one anyway, syslog says it's got a few issues, might be related

Not necessarily the problem, but it's a problem, you should replace the Asmedia controller with port multipliers, more info here:

Okay, I've ordered an hba sas card, see if that helps at all
