I have seen this repeatedly, fought it and "apparently" beat it by upgrading my PSU. I could reliably reproduce it by running a raid resync and issuing SMART queries to the drives, but after a PSU upgrade it has gone away. I have tried hard to reproduce it recently but I just can't get it to crash anymore. I have a similar setup 4x SATA-TX4 cards and 15x 7Y250M0 drives. I'm thought it was actually a bug, but as I can't reproduce it anymore it's making it a bit hard to track down. Not much help, sorry.
