Check to see if some part of the system is not overheating due to a failed fan somewhere. Also check the cabling and the SMART status of the drive. There were some issues with DMA and UDMA133 mode, so you may want to try to rule out those as possible causes first by putting hw.ata.ata_dma=0 into /boot/loader.conf and forcing UDMA100 mode with atacontrol(8) (see man 8 atacontrol for details). BTW, you may want to consider posting such questions to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org in the future as this is not the most appropriate list for such questions.
