I'll try the SSH trick but I think it's a hard freeze.
I suspect SATA. Maybe some kinds of conflicting access trigger this. This thread got me thinking about it https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/random-freeze-hdd-led-on.238412/#post-1659739
When I reduced the number of SATA devices from 8 to 3, the freeze became much less frequent, so much that I thought the problem was gone. Today I stared up Backblake Backup, which causes a lot of read access, for the first time since the fresh reinstall and not much later I got a freeze.
I run rsync every 4 hours to backup one 3TB disk to the other. I can either turn that off or set up something for continuous disk access to test my theory.
Also, if most people use only one drive, or one most of the time, that might explain why it's not reported more often.
Also, exark's description of the machine running ok over a weekend unused and freezing 20 mins into a work session fits my SATA theory. (I know, it could fit a lot of other theories too.)
