  Throw the drive away, because it is going bad.

  Chances are the drive is spinning down, and you need a power cycle to
get it going again.  Very bad.

  The ahc driver in 2.2-stable is better at kick starting stalled drives.
But even if it fixes it, it is just a matter of time before your drive
spins down for the last time.
