For your next system I highly recommend setting it up with RAID. It
makes problems like these so much easier. [Of course because of the
problem with flooding in Thailand and human reaction to it the cost of
disk drives is soaring right now. Unfortunate timing to lose a drive.]

I believe all SATA interfaces are go for DMA.

running okay afterward would match that symptom. Because after the
initial read it should be in filesystem buffer cache.

It could be a hardware problem.
