Just today encountered same problem with 1TB Seagate freeagent. So we can assume it's not hdd problem.
I suspect it has something to do with the power management, yet it's to dicover.
my kernel get IO errors and remounts it R-O.
Yeap, looks like the allow_restart trick did the thing. The access stalls for few seconds, but then works again.
