... 2 pairs with identical "serial numbers", ...
Are you certain that it is not two drives that fail to connect at boot?
You previously posted smartctl reports indicating a bad SATA connection.
If you disconnect everything except one Gigastone SSD, connect it to a
known good motherboard SATA port using a known good SATA cable, connect
it to a known good PSU power cable, boot live media into a rescue shell,
examine the Gigastone, write down the serial number, shutdown, and
repeat for the four other Gigastone drives, can you confirm the
duplicate serial numbers?
