The reason why I asked is this: I came across the same post I think and
concluded that the ATA error messages are no big deal. But yesterday, I
discovered that a code of mine kept crashing with a very strange error
message, although I had run this exact code a couple of hours before
without a problem. After lots of added print statements I discovered
that the text file it was reading was corrupted and that that was the
reason for the code to crash. I logged off right away and rebooted and
fortunately the text file was not corrupted anymore after the reboot.
But since my laptop had been up already for 3 1/2 days at this point it
occurred to me that these ATA error message might not be all that
harmless after all. But since I don't know why exactly the text file
appeared to be corrupted, I don't know what possibly could have caused
this and the ATA error might really be completely harmless.

Has anyone else seen anything like this after a few sleep/resume cycles?
Any file corruptions?
