/var/log/messages:

Dec 17 17:01:44 waffle /kernel: ad3: ad_timeout: lost disk contact - resetting
Dec 17 17:01:44 waffle /kernel: ata4: resetting devices .. ad3: HARD WRITE ERROR blk# 
6594768ad3: DMA problem encountered, fallback to PIO mode
Dec 17 17:01:44 waffle /kernel: ad3: DMA problem encountered, fallback to PIO mode
Dec 17 17:01:44 waffle /kernel: done
Dec 17 17:02:09 waffle /kernel: ad1: UDMA CRC READ ERROR blk# 10522095 retrying
Dec 17 17:02:14 waffle /kernel: ad3: ad_timeout: lost disk contact - resetting
Dec 17 17:02:14 waffle /kernel: ata4: resetting devices .. done
