If disk reports "Input/output error", then the disk has failed (already failed, not "is failing").

The output of smartctl is sometimes dificuly to interpret without some
experience, definitely WD and Seagate report some failure modes
differently.

Best if you post the output of "smartctl -a" to this list, somebody (myself included)
can read it for you to tell what the exact failure problem is.


But the bottom line is your disk has failed, you should replace
it immediately. (good disks do not throw "i/o errors").
