I would run the SMART self-test, if it's supported -- see the 'smartctl' manpage for details. Most likely your disk is dying.
So hardware problem, right? :(
It reports some errors but it seems to be always the same one and I'm not sure they are what you guess.
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
ok so far

Nothing mentionable here.

It's a "young" disk.
SMART Error Log Version: 1 ATA Error Count: 21303 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)
Error 21303 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 2118 hours (88 days + 6 hours)
ie, two hours ago. That's about it.
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
After command completion occurred, registers were: ER ST SC SN CL CH DH -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 40 51 03 3c 62 65 e2 Error: UNC 3 sectors at LBA = 0x0265623c = 40198716
I guess that's an unreadable sector (3 sectors).

You haven't done a short/long/ test recently: those seems to be two short tests made by the computer installer (at 1 hour of age). So, do a short test, then a long one. You can continue using your computer somewhat during the test, but it's better you stop all disk intensive activities, even things like mail fetching if possible, or it will take way longer to test. When finished, read the results again. Tricks: Writing to the bad sector will trigerg remapping it. You can detect them all by copying all sectors to /dev/null with dd.
Warning! SMART Selective Self-Test Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
Dunno. Run those tests first. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
