Just today I had two spontaneous outages of my HDDs (kernel even didn't 
found the root partition one of that times). We have one commonality, 
the intel chipset. I didn't read the logs, I thought that was just a 
hardware glitch. However, such outages didn't happen for year I use the 
current hardware configuration.

I think of a bug report for kernel component.
