In the end we fixed it by changing the Paged Pool Usage Maximum set from 80% to 40% on the servers as our Windows guru’s worked out that SAS was filling the Windows cache faster than Windows could clear it, causing the I/O errors.

SAS support also suggested we follow this instrauctions in this tech support note:

If you have struck another fix then let me know.
