SSD freezes for a few days then returns to normal and smart OK
Hello
<EDIT>
The freezes have stopped as suddenly as they had started. Logs show all that all smart tests passed successfully for the last three days:
# journalctl |grep self-test
juil. 26 05:05:25 llewellyn smartd[442]: Device: /dev/sdb [SAT], previous self-test completed without error
juil. 28 02:41:32 llewellyn smartd[459]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], previous self-test completed without error [x3]
juil. 29 02:41:32 llewellyn smartd[459]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], previous self-test completed without error [x3]Do you mind to share your interpretation of this behavior? Call me dumb but was this SSD getting tired of fasting (Ramadan ended yesterday) or has a strong personality... :-o ?
In the meantime have increased backups frequency.
</EDIT>
My system started to freeze from time to time with the error log below. But SMARTctl says drive's fine. Already happened six months ago then the problem vanished. Wonder how to effectively check a SSD's status?!
This workstation has two Sata Hard Drives and a SanDisk SDSSDX120GG25 15 months old.
Kernel~3.15.5-2-ck x86_64 Up~6 days Mem~1533.7/3770.6MB HDD~940.2GB(51.1% used).
1) smartctl (and hdsentinel) says drive's fine:

Please help me learn how to check the real state of a SSD?. Hard to move on when you dunno if a drive's issue is hardware related 
Useful References I checked but couldn't learn how to check what's causing the system's freeze:
* checking SMART's statuses or conditions by GrapefruiTgirl
* Disabling TRIM on the kernel level (Unresolved) The "failed command: DATA SET MANAGEMENT" shows that the kernel hangs while trying to issue a TRIM command

Re: SSD freezes for a few days then returns to normal and smart OK
What I find strange is that only one on the ten latest (long?) self-tests couldn't complete, all others went fine. Which one to follow is unclear to me:

juil. 26 02:35:25 llewellyn smartd[442]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], previous self-test could not complete due to a fatal or unknown error
