Welp, after almost two months without the issue cropping up after changing the sATA cable, it has shown it’s ugly head again in the last few days. Even after re-seating all the cable connections on the drive the issue still persists.
Luckily I’ll be able to borrow an unused HDD tomorrow to see if the BIOS has an issue with it. That should help narrow it down.
Here’s the latest SMART info:
