I finally fixed my drive error problem. This has been going on quite a while. I've posted before with no success on getting this fixed.
I was getting these errors.
Dec 4 04:03:10 bikesn4x4s kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Dec 4 04:03:10 bikesn4x4s kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
And now for the amazing smartctl -a command. The output actually had a link that advised and directed me to a link to upgrade my firmware, which looks to have fixed it. Simply amazing.
smartctl -a /dev/hda:
