Do you see a pattern?  That looks like a sick drive, getting stuck.
Run "badblocks" on it, see if there are any bad sectors.

Install smartmontools, run "smartctl -l selftest -t long /dev/hda" and
about 15 minutes later, "smartctl -HA /dev/hda | lpr".

It should say "PASSED" and nothing but a - in the "WHEN_FAILED" column.
Anything there next to "Pre-fail" supposedly means 24 hours to failure.
Look at the columns of numbers and see if anything in "WORST" approaches
"THRESH". Low numbers are bad.
