I have had this same or very similar issue on my fresh new Kubuntu 12.04
install with Gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 v1.1 motherboard with the following
disks

[    2.069621] ata4.00: ATA-8: ST31500341AS, SD1B, max UDMA/133
[    2.078992] ata2.00: ATA-8: WDC WD5000AAKS-00YGA0, 12.01C02, max UDMA/133
[    2.084532] ata5.00: ATA-9: SAMSUNG SSD 830 Series, CXM03B1Q, max UDMA/133
[    2.128540] ata1.00: ATA-7: ST3500830AS, 3.AFE, max UDMA/133
[    2.410522] ata3.00: ATA-8: WDC WD20EADS-00S2B0, 01.00A01, max UDMA/133

Here is example of errors I was receiving

I was able to completely solve this issue by following this post
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9684933&postcount=12

and disabling NCQ by editing 
/etc/default/grub
and changing
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=noncq"

Additional info also here
http://iwtf.net/2011/05/19/western-digital-sata-errors-under-linux/

Just and FYI, I have had similar problem for my CentOS 6.3 problem and the 
solution was slightly different, in addition to disabling NCQ I also had to 
limit the SATA speet to 1.5G. More info is here
