Here's a though :
The way I run this clover business is all on a USB thumb drive. It doesn't touch the OS SSD's at all.
Might be worth installing the UEFI clover on the properly formatted USB drive, then UEFI Booting the thumb drive.
Not much info to go on, but this all sounds like a clover mis-config in some way.
EDIT : Just googled a bit, indeed, you should try to run disk utility to fix/verify that disk.
If you've got the recovery parition fine, if not, grab the actual usb install for el cap, boot that, and you can run diskutility from the installer.
wasn't able to repair the drive so ended up doing a reinstall.
I've checked and triple checked everything and i'm back in the same situation as before... however I have made a discovery!

I seem to get a system hang/total freeze if i plug one of the ssds into USB3 port then into USB2.
