I used these errors as a good reason to buy a bigger drive and the new drive had the same error messages. After testing with seagates tool, I can find no problem with either drive. I disable dma as a temporary solution, but I think it is not a drive fault in my case. Do back up :)
Looks like the data cable to the drive is either broken or too long. At least if you see CRC errors - these normally happen on the transport medium and not within the drive itself.
