what the... these are SECONDS! What on earth could delay a sata attached disk read for 30 (now 180) seconds if not a disk failure? I OS hang? Sorry about that question, but I don't understand.. I have never seen such a problem.

A consumer drive will spend considerable time trying to read a sector before giving up. I believe 120 seconds is not uncommon.

The raid drives will typically give up after 7 seconds.
