Yes Bermu, I just confirmed that it won't freeze in Windows. However, I did a hard disk check for bad sectors while it was in Windows and it did find 3 sectors damaged.
I am going to try the DS3617XS+ setup now to see if it freezes too.
I have the same problem as you. I'm trying a fresh install with a new HDD
With the previous disk doing a s.m.a.r.t test at 10H it froze. the disk is good because I tried it on more computers
Tomorrow I will try to give more information. I am sorry for my bad english
