Actually /dev/sdb is an mSata drive. Here's output of smartctl:
...
9 Power_On_Hours -O--C- 100 100 000 - 15975
12 Power_Cycle_Count -O--C- 100 100 000 - 69
Reasonably low use. I don't see a date of birth in the data.
The laptop is 10 years old. Its power supply could be getting tired. Are you
running it off house current when it crashes? Is the battery competent?
What's on the other drive? Is it something you can't get to crash?
Is the cooling path clean? Could something be overheating?
I see it crash when I issue command last:
$ last

And of course the power was off.
This mini PC is quite idle most of the time because it's just me and my friend
using it mainly as a file server. We do other experiments on it too sometimes.
We have another 2 disks attached to it using USB to SATA converters. Both disks
are healthy from what I see.
