Hi,
I think you have a hardware problem (cable, terminator, or
as you suspect the disk itself) although the scsi subsystem
could be made a little more robuster as I have wished for the last
few months...

This is exactly what I see when I load-test my faulty disk
with 2.2.10-ac12 AFTER settigng the SCSI timeout to 30 seconds.
