If you have any red SATA cables, replace them with new black SATA 6 Gbps 
cables with locking connectors.  (I use Cable Matters cables.)


Download the manufacturer diagnostic utility for whatever brand disk(s) 
you own and run it.  I prefer tools that run on bootable media (e.g. USB 
flash drive); Windows may be required.
