to me it looks like a hardware failure at first, but I found this in the
Arch Linux Forum:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=283906&p=2

Maybe this helps... there it looks like a Kernel update made a SATA
disk unusable with the same error message. The user downgraded the
Kernel and the error was gone. Since I can not reproduce anything here
I don't know if this makes sense but maybe it helps you a bit... ;)

Regards,
Johannes
