Just wanted to post a quick follow-up to this. Original thread is
here[1] -- not quoted for brevity.
Andrew Gabriel suggested[2] that this could possibly be some workload
triggered issue. We wanted to rule out a driver problem and so we
tested various configurations under Solaris 10U9 and
Other SATA HDDs and SSDs are similarly affected. This can vary by firmware rev.
The prescription seems to be consistent with my experience.

This was the information I got from the distributor but this faq is newer.
Anyway you have still the problems.
When we installed the Intel-X25 we had also problems with timeout.
We replaced the original SUN StorageTek SAS HBA (LSI based, 1068E, newest
firmware) with an original SUN StorageTek
I posted a thread on this once long ago[1] -- but we're still fighting
with this problem and I wanted to throw it out here again.
All of our hardware is from Silicon Mechanics (SuperMicro chassis and
motherboards).
Up until now, all of the hardware has had a single 24-disk expander /
backplane
