Mac freezes because of TR/error 4HDD/11/40000000: SATA(0,0)

after amount of torrents in my Transmission being up to 300, my Mac began to experience difficulties. this is reflected in the fact that machine freezes for some time without any visible causes.
I use 2.77 (14031) on osx 10.8.3, iMac Late 2012.
almost all of torrents are on external HDD's. their are two. Seagate Go-Flex 3.5" 2 Tb, WD Elements Green 3.5" 3 Tb. they are plugged via 2.0 with using additional USB cable. also, on my Mac is configured Time Machine on one of external HDD's (on Elements).
I also experienced similar issue after I began to use Transmission few months ago, when I was putting or stopping new torrent - I got software hungs on a while. I looked for decision on some russian forums, one guy told me that it's because of kind of work of software - when you stopping torrent first time while it downloading, software begin to save stuff on HDD and if HDD works slow - it causes hungs of software. I came to the conclusion that there is the need to replace HDD's. well, I didn't change it yet. because I haven't got possibility and this problem isn't critical for me, but this one, on top, is really worries me.
ps. I had an idea disable TM and thereby decrease loading of one of HDD's, what I did this morning. what you can suggest me?
