maybe. or it could be an incompatibility between your SATA controller
and your drives - what kind of SATA cont. is it, and what brand drives?
i know that Nvidia chipset SATA controllers ("nv" driver) and Maxtor
drives don't get along. i've got a pair of Maxtors myself (for a raid-1
array) and ran into the problem last year. fortunately, my MB has other
SATA ports on it as well as the nv ports.
The maxtors run fine on different SATA ports, and different drives run
fine on the nv ports.
may not be the probelm but it's worth checking out, anyway.
try a google search for your drive brand and yor sata controller.
