To me it looks the same issue I am seeing on my SSD device. Given that
it is an SSD device, I disable the following in my
/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf file.

CONTROL_HD_WRITECACHE=0
CONTROL_HD_POWERMGMT=0
CONTROL_HD_IDLE_TIMEOUT=0
CONTROL_READAHEAD=0

Please reply back to this bug report if these settings fix your problem.
