    Called Microsoft Tech Support, as I've had around 100 'Warnings' a day in the event viewer about Source: Disk, Description: The IO operation at logical block address 8ea3e8 for Disk 1 was retried. (the bolded area changes every time.)
    EDIT : THERE IS NO FREEZING OF MY SYSTEM. SMART, and Intel's Disk Diagnostic, and sfc /scannow all come back 100% "fine", with no errors, etc.
    EDIT: The disk is an Intel 330 SSD. It's runing in AHCI mode, and under Win 7 had NO issues of this sort. (I check my logs religiously ... ie on Sundays, after church.)

    Part of phone conversation:
    MS: This is normal.
    Me: This didn't show up/happen in Windows 7.
    MS: Oh, that's because logging in Windows 8 is different.

    So my request for the NBR community is thus:
    EVERYONE please, check your EVENT VIEWER > Windows Logs > System.
    Click the "Source" header to sort ... or use a FILTER and beside "by source" select disk (with a lowercase d).
    Post back here a few things.
    1: Windows Version
    2: Hard Drive (Type (SSD/HDD), Manufacture (Intel, WD, Seagate, etc)
    3: Did you see the error "The IO operation at logical block address [RANDOM ADDRESS] for Disk 1 was retried."

    Thank you in advance, for your help.

    W8 64, installed on September 22.
    Old, old-school Hitachi HDD.
    Event ID 153: 2630 times (!!!?)

    They all happened during 24 hours or so, one month ago. I had trouble with the second HDD that kept disconnecting, that may have been the reason. I'm not sure tho.

    I also had number 140 (NTFS) showing up at the same day 1815 times for my D: drive.

    W7 64
    WD HDD
    Event ID 153: never.

    Have you contacted the maker of your SSD? That event ID (153) may have different causes.

    Intel blames Windows. (Win 8)

    Asus blames Intel. (330 Series SSD)
