[SOLVED] Should I worry about such errors in journalctl ?

Hello guys!

I noticed some errors messages about ATA in journalctl:

Aug 17 18:54:44 zoulou kernel: ata16.00: exception Emask 0x1 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6
Aug 17 18:54:44 zoulou kernel: ata16.00: irq_stat 0x40000001
Aug 17 18:54:44 zoulou kernel: ata16.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:01/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 1 dma 16640 in
                                        opcode=0x12 12 01 00 00 ff 00res 00/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x3 (HSM violation)

Such message appears regulary.
Should I worry about this ?
Does it means one device is weak/sick/ broken ?

If you don't experience hangs/freezes and fsck is not throwing errors on your disks, you have nothing to worry about.
Most of this is probably debug messages
