This error usually means that your disk isn't responding fast enough. You may have a disk failure comming, or a SCSI cable going bad.

If you are on a SAN you could have a bad fibre cable, or a heat problem within the array.

Or you may simple need more spindles in your array that is having the problem.

If it's a disk failure problem you will want to run a DBCC CHECKDB on the database to ensure that the database didn't get corrupted.

Check perfmon and look for high queueing or high latency to the disk.
