BTW, something I forgot to cover in my reply: the slot number shown in
the output (e.g. "Timeout on slot NN") has nothing to do with "port
number", "connector", or anything like that.  It's an internal
controller feature; AHCI offers the same thing.  I performed rudimentary
analysis on this back in April 2011 by reviewing the code and a small
write-up on it (semi-technical):

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2011-April/011197.html

Taken from my post at that time, which is what I'm wanting to relay
here: "Timeout on slot N" != SATA port N.  Two unrelated things.
