Not using anything extravagant and using a 500W aspire PSU, good thought though.

Still get the errors:

[ 2311.980138] ata3: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

FWIW, this could be related to smartctl trying to monitor the disk.
Try this:

  smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sdX

If that complains about SMART being disabled, enable it with:

  smartctl -d ata -e /dev/sdX

Are you sure this isn't something obvious like an insufficiently large power
supply in the system? I've had strange SATA errors before because I was
running 4 HDs and a 6600GT on a 360W PSU.
