I see, since "ages" the same behaviour of "SEAGATE ST318436LW 0005"
disks on 2940 an 29160 controllers, especially under "heavy" load
(tar --blocking-factor=20480 copy data to and from ata-disk +
tape-backup over ahc + dd on another scsi-disk ).
Disabling Tagged Queueing makes them disappear.
I also set correct terminaton in the adapter BIOS rather than
automatic, but I doubt that is related.
These are computation intensive lab servers.

You might give it a try (if ever ST336607LW support tag-queuing ...)

Arno
