You're using a *Vaio*? I didn't think X would work on those!?
wd0: interrupt timeout:
followed by:
wd0: status 50<rdy,seekdone> error 0
or
wd0: status 58<rdy,seekdone,drq> error 0

It sounds like the disk is spinning down but is immediately
woken up again by the OS trying to write something.
That is somewhat typical behaviour. If you have your disk timeout set
to 5 minutes in the BIOS, and cron running atrun every 5 minutes,
you could easily be seeing behavior like that. Atrun is not the only reason
your disk might be getting hit all the time.
You might nuke atrun (or at least make it less frequent) and/or change the
disk spin-down interval.
