In this case NONE of the smartctl -a output revealed any problem, not
the attribute values, not the event log, and not the selftest log
(performed nightly).
I guess it's a problem like a minimal bad contact on the pcb, because
when the drive has properly cooled down, it does function for a while,
then at a certain point (smartctl reports ~35 C) it stops spinning and
hangs the complete bus.
I'm done with it, it is going to be replaced asap.
