Actually, I'd say this is a signal for NCQ errors with the drive.

I'm afraid only LSI would be able to say for certain, because the mptsas
implements its NCQ handling in firmware.  libata-core doesn't show any
special workarounds for your device (ST3750640AS) but that doesn't mean
there isn't a problem.  If it's really an NCQ implementation issue, then
clamping the queue depth to 1 is about the only fix, I'm afraid.
