SATA drive lock-up

[Derek Ragona]

I have a single SATA drive on an Adaptec 1210SA card.

The drive will give a write error warning a few times, then will repeatedly 
give:
ad4: timeout sending command=ca

The only recovery is the reset switch, reboot single-user fsck, and then 
come back up in multiuser.

These errors occur with disk access, but not with a predictable nature (not 
on large files, or small files, etc.)

If more information is needed, let me know.
