I am getting this in the log file: Time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 3 for page (1:4660738) database ID 5
The database is in Full mode & logs are backing up every 15 minutes like normal. I was unable to perform a a full backup (get the latch error).
After each log is backed up I am seeing: One or more recovery units belonging to database 'X' failed to generate a checkpoint
I ran a Check DB with no errors (60GB DB)
There are disk errors being reported, running on SAN with SSD's
User were able to continue working as normal.
When they restarted SQL Server, all returned to normal without either error?
The recovery did roll thru 80k+ trans on startup
Other things I should have looked at?
Ideas why it was happening?

We have had a similar problem : 2019 Enterprise - NOLOCK without NOLOCK, page latch time-out on tempdb and finally a dump and after many manipulations, we thinks that is an incompatible problem with some specific hardware... Describe which hardware do you use please.
