This may be due to some faulty hardware things like connection or hard drive such problem can usually see when hard disk having bad sector so better to check for bad sector else just go for claim your warranty contact apple

That is the problem due to hard disk firmware so Apple delivers two firmware updates say Performance Update 1.0 for Leopard And Snow Leopard On Mac Intel. They are intended to correct a problem where their hard drive would sometimes briefly paused unexpectedly. A technical List machines may be concerned Mainly mobile phones but also some iMac and Mac mini series.
