See below. .. read failed. write works. read failed. write works. read works. dd failed. read works. read works. read failed. Odd. The drive must be furiously reshuffling sectors or something, or more likely pushing a piece of dirt around scuffing up more bits. hdparm generally talks directly to a drive, not through the block or filesystem layers. So the block, filesystem, and page-cache stuff don't know anything about --read-sector and --write-sector.
