If it were me I would swap cables and move to a different SATA port on the motherboard. I have seen individual SATA ports fail with the rest of the ports okay. I also have the advantage of many different sets of hardware available and so I would mix and match the various parts into different systems. If the problem stays with the system or moves with the moved part is a good diagnostic aid in determining which piece of hardware or software is causing problems. In this case it is 1) the kernel software 2) sata cable 3) sata device 4) motherboard sata controller. At least one of those is the problem. It is a mental game of Mastermind to determine which.
