I really don't think this is hardware related. I just ran ESTOOL utility on my drive and did extensive tests. The drive is pristine. I am sure some die hard bug in the kernel is causing this. This whole thing started 3 months after Karmic Koala release... I may try a stock kernel since we may be suffering some kind of ubuntu "clever" kernel tweaks...
