This is a loooong shot, but try a new sata cable. Particularly if the
existing one is hot red and over 3 years old. Any color but hot red.
There is something in that plastic dye that destroys the copper in the
cable over time, first observed by this old service tech in the middle
1970's when that color showed up in japanese microphone cables for CB
radio's. Its been a ticking time bomb ever since.
