Me too. With onboard Promise ATA.

I have noticed even more freezes: Jan 15, Jan 16, Jan 20, Jan 22, Jan 29.
Today is Feb 1. However, there were some disk changes. On Jan 20, we had
4 disks in a box (ad[0246]) and since Jan 22 we have just three disks
in a box (ad[046]).
I really do not know what to do :-(

In another box, I have 3ware 6400 ATA-RAID and it seems
to be quite stable.

It is ATA-RAID, maybe you have configured it in BIOS.

Hmm, if there is ar0 with ad4 and ad6, I think that disks ad4 and ad6
should be hidden. ???

Yes, I know them too:
Jan 21 14:14:38 x /kernel: ad6: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
Jan 21 14:14:38 x /kernel: ata3: resetting devices .. done
But I can not determine when they appear.

I can see these messages very seldom (Jan 11 and Jan 21).
