More info: I did run badblok -w and so on after the errors, all is fine. There are tons of this I/O errors - always after the device fails it totally stops working, and after reboot it works fully. If the device do not die in between, I can write/read entire hard-drive till last sector without any problems.
Therefore it is NOT a device-media / surface problem, must be SATA link/driver/etc problem. more examples of reports from logs: Aug 5 15:05:18 lcwood kernel: [75189.807205] ata3: hard resetting link Aug 5 15:05:28 lcwood kernel: [75199.816547] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Aug 5 15:05:33 lcwood kernel: [75204.816528] ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) Aug 5 15:05:33 lcwood kernel: [75204.816547] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) Aug 5 15:05:33 lcwood kernel: [75204.816555] ata3: hard resetting link Aug 5 15:05:43 lcwood kernel: [75214.820531] ata3: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) Aug 5 15:05:53 lcwood kernel: [75224.820525] ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) Aug 5 15:05:53 lcwood kernel: [75224.820539] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) Aug 5 15:05:53 lcwood kernel: [75224.820547] ata3: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps Aug 5 15:05:53 lcwood kernel: [75224.820551] ata3: hard resetting link Aug 5 15:06:03 lcwood kernel: [75234.828041] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Aug 5 15:06:33 lcwood kernel: [75264.828042] ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) Aug 5 15:06:33 lcwood kernel: [75264.828062] ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) Aug 5 15:06:33 lcwood kernel: [75264.828074] ata3.00: disabled Aug 5 15:06:33 lcwood kernel: [75264.828215] ata3: hard resetting link Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872552] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872617] ata3: EH complete Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872683] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872704] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872722] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872732] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872741] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872750] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872759] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872768] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872777] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872787] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.872796] lost page write due to I/O error on sdc Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.873139] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.873511] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.873828] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.874278] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.874597] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.874952] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.875314] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.875810] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.876152] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Aug 5 15:06:43 lcwood kernel: [75274.876542] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Result: hostbyte=DID_BAD_TARGET driverbyte=DRIVER_OK,SUGGEST_OK Ok and what is that???
