I get those a lot too. I have a question, can you post the output of
hdparm -i /dev/hda . I have two Maxtor drives and both of mine gives a
very similar error. My Western Digital doesn't have any errors at all.
Thanks.

So is it a Hitachi or IBM? I was curious since mine is a Maxtor and has
similar errors. I had a thread a while back. Here is some of the info
I was given to read.

Maybe something will make sense.

Is Hitachi made by the same company as Maxtor I wonder? I have been getting these errors for some time now. They pass the tests tho. You can run that with this: smartctl -t long /dev/hdX The X should be replaced with the correct drive or you may have to use sdX if you have SATA drives. After it gets done, which may take a while, you can get the results like this: smartctl -l selftest /dev/hdX. Replace the X again. Hope you get a good report. Mine passed. Dale :-) :-) :-)
