Another possibility might be overheating. I had one hard drive that
started reporting timeout errors fairly often. I remounted it upside
down (so the heat from the circuit board would rise away from the
drive mechanism), and that helped some, but the errors still happened
every so often. I later moved the drive to another machine with a
larger case and more fans, and I haven't had any timeouts since.
