PHY RDY changed and HSM violation are completely different error conditions. I think either the harddrive or power supply is dying. smartctl -a might show something but I'm not too hopeful. The surest way is to connect the drive to a different PSU and see whether the problem goes away but if all other drives on the system is fine, I would just throw away the harddrive.
