1. Is the machine fully up to date on its firmware? (I'd guess so since
it's newish, but doesn't hurt to check.)

2. Is the message only for sd0,0?

If it's only for sd0,0, you may have a cabling or drive problems leading
to noise and related sympathetic SCSI bus resets. If so, physically
remove the drive from the system and see if things quiets down.

If it persists, even for only one hard drive installed -- and then
persists even if a different hard drive is put in its place, then you
probably have some sort of non-physical issue. (e.g. firmware, driver)
