This may avoid hangs, but will slow overall performance, so no fun solution… Proper solution appears to be to replace motherboard, hence replacing disk controller.

I am pretty confident that this is the right diagnosis, as we went through a lot of trial and error investigative work, in a space of few weeks, after it started abruptly. At first, I was pretty much convinced that HD is dying.
