Please try with the latest kernel. We do not debug older kernels. Hardware (SSD) failing is more likely though.

The errors you see are timeouts. So it seems that your SSD is simply not responding. This could thus be a hardware problem with your drive. If you can, try testing with another (newer) SSD ? -- Damien Le Moal Western Digital Research
