FWIW I see this often enough on cheap sata drives: they've a failure
mode that makes sata driver timeout, reset the link, resend the command,
rinse, lather, repeat. (You usually get "slow to respond, please be
patient" and/or "resetting link" in syslog & console.) It's at the low
enough level to freeze the whole system for minutes.
