    I’d say it’s time for a clean install and thinking of a new root password.

    Huh? What has that to do with a possibly failing drive?

      Because to me it looked like someone or something was trying to get access to root only features. I didn’t know it had anything to do with drives.

        First clue was the “ata” prefacing every error message. Then various things like “SCSI parity error” which indicates data corruption during transmission. “Parity” data is used to double check the integrity of the actual data.
