Well, my HELIOS64 board died a long time ago (with no possible replacment), but before that, about the freezes :
- in the end the root cause of the problem has never been corrected, but had been identified at some point in time as being related to the CPU freq changes / governance
- hence the workaround about stabilizing the board with a fixed governance and a lower speed of 1.2Ghx
- as far as i remember, this was nearly allowing to not encounter the issue anymore
(not sure however what you are calling "DSF" + this had nothing to do with disks - SSD or regular HDD)
