Hard drive errors?

Hi guys,
Ive been having a few problems lately, i hear one of my hard drives click, and then about a minute later the whole computer freezes up.
Im trying to work out which drive it is, is it most likely to be the one arch is installed on? or could another drive cause it to lock up if its trying to write to it?
I found these errors after rebooting:
Is anybody able to explain what they mean?

Also this what does this mean:

Mar 28 11:24:05 kane sd 2:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through
Mar 28 11:24:05 kane sd 2:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through

Ive tried smartmontools, it showed some errors but running it again after my recent lockups shows no new errors so im confused.

Thanks
