Just curious, I am sure the likely issue is a bad disk, but I thought
there might be a chance this could be caused by possibly by something
else.
I have three 1TB disks I use for backup, two of them are Western
Digital drives I bought specifically for this purpose. One is a Seagate
drive that came out of a barebones PC that I replaced with a couple
smaller drives in a stripe to gain performance. I use the drives in an
external SATA dock, using geom eli encryption, the western digital
drives give me no problems, but the seagate drive gives me a lot of the
following errors under load.
ad4: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA48 retrying (1 retry left) LBA=817755328

dmesg info about the drive at connection time:

dmesg info about one of the western digital drives:
ad4: 953869MB <WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1 80.00A80> at ata2-master UDMA100

Before I scrap the drive I just wanted to see if anyone could either
say for sure its hardware, or if something else could possibly cause
this. I don't suspect the controller, cable or dock as the problems
would likely occur with the western Digital drives as well if one of
them were involved.
