Broken hard drive.

As luck would have it, half way through configuring my debian install I started to get a bit suspicious that one of the hard drives was making some odd noises.A quick dmesg gave the following result:
[ 1102.483303] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen

I quickly installed smartctl to check what was up and got the following results for the second hard drive:
