        The following actions have been taken so far, none of which are 
successful:
        - Upgraded Dell R210 II's BIOS
        - Purchased an entirely new Sandisk TowerRAID TR8M+B
        - Replaced the eSATA card - moving from SIL chipset to Marvell
        - Replaced all hard drives with brand new 3TB drives.
Did you try replacing the eSATA cables yet?

        - Upgraded OS from Debian Jessie to Debian Stretch
        - Ensured BIOS was set for maximum performance and not power saving.
        - Added noapic, acpi=off, and apm=off kernel parameter options.
These parameters were once useful with old hardware and kernel
versions, but now will usually only make things worse.

        - Performed a full on-board health check (part of the Dell on-board 
management abilities), finding no issues.
        - Performed an extensive memory test, finding no issues.
