I have been told these can be caused by cable problems or even other things on the pci bus so the data just didnt get through with a correct crc. I think my troubles started when I reorganized some drives, and went away when I used an 80 pin cable for the affected drive. The drive was only ata33 but the extra grounding present in the cable seems to help keep data sane. Maybe a shorter, better cable would help you. I'd avoid kinking or looping the cable and try to keep it reasonably away from other things if possible.
