Since the drive itself creates/maintains the SMART stats, that means that (a) either the drive really is seeing that many Command Timeouts, or (b) there is a bug in the drive's firmware. If you purchased these drives yourself, you probably will need to contact Seagate support. What firmware is the drive running? Note you can check at Seagate to see if there is a firmware update for your drives (you can enter the drive model and it's serial number, and their on-line tool should tell you).

They are upgraded to firmware version CC4H by me because of a note in the hardware compability list for the NV+ V+, but I do notice that this comment is removed now.
But the weird thing is that the comand timouts only increases when doing a disk test trough the boot menu. Did this test because I had frequent lock-ups using sabnzbd.

Did not find the online check at seagate.com, do you have a link?
