I cant figure out, whether disk is failing or esxi has problems with disk driver. I am using Asus ASUS M2A-VM Disk controller shows on esxi as: SB600 NonRaid 5 SATA

It looks like one of your disks, a Western Digital i'd imagine, may be having physical issues. There are diagnostics available from WD you should probably run against the disk. Might be a good time to take a backup as well.

I sincerely doubt this is an issue with the "driver" as there are little to no configuration options there to be misconfigured.

What version of vSphere? I'm assuming version 5 since this is a new warning to v5. Take a look at this conversation about the same issue.
