I get it on my SAM440 very frequently. I'd be very surprised if the
write bandwidth was that low as it's a fast SATA drive.

Curiously I've never seen the message on my old EEE, which has the
slowest SSD write times known to man (it's slower than any HDD I've
encountered).

I suspect the OS has a lot to do with it, especially when writing lots
of small files there's likely to be significant overhead.
