	Most likely either your HDD, the controller it's attached to, or the  
cable it's connected with is failing. Depending on what steps you use  
to troubleshoot, you may or may not discover what the issue is (or  
may not discover it in a timely manner). On the really off-hand  
chance it could be an issue with the way the driver has been  
programmed, but I would only say this is a problem with newer  
chipsets or technologies, or drivers (directly or indirectly) being  
modified in -CURRENT.
