I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 (uname -r ... 2.6.27-9-generic) and the issue remains. The hard drive is fine, checked with disk utils from Samsung (it's a Samsung SP1213C disk), the SMART report log doesn't report any errors and just in case, fsck doesn't report errors either.
I've read that there are some problems with libata and Intel (http ://linux-ata.org/faq.html), so i'm using "combined_mode=libata" (my mainboard is Intel) in my kernel boot options and it seems it's helping (the disk freezing remains, but the disk performance does not decrease any more).
