After updating the Marvell 88EE9230 SATA controller firmware to 2.3.xxx from:
https://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=352&func=select&id=347&lang=en
approximately every 2-3 weeks the ata6 port populated with a SAMSUNG MZ7TN512 throws errors:
Jun 02 03:49:29 doomsdaydevice kernel: ata6.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED
Jun 02 03:49:29 doomsdaydevice kernel: ata6.00: status: { DRDY }
Jun 02 03:49:29 doomsdaydevice kernel: ata6.00: cmd 61/08:80:a8:08:10/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 16 ncq dma 4096 out
The other ports don't throw errors.
However, when the Marvell controller was initially using firmware 1.x.xxx, the siutation was even worse. Frequently, links were rested, raid corruption happened, and kernel panics occurred. Example from May/2018 (hostname changed, same machine):
May 31 18:25:43 amd-server kernel: [ 3339.410446] ata5.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED

Which also caused errors within the drives (smartctl -a /dev/sdd):
Error 2 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 2069 hours (86 days + 5 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
After command completion occurred, registers were:
