get a new cable?
is everything cool enough?
Yes to both
why do you think, it is the controller?
No reason really its just a guess. Plus the hard drives are brand new.
and last point: if the controller is not explicitly marked as hot-swapable,
and the board able to do hotswap too, you have to proper shutdown to change
hardware.
Since I suspect, that it is a PCI controller, and PCI is not
hotplug/hotswapable, the answer should be no.
I'm not really looking to change hardware just simply
re-initialize that specific PCI card so I don't have to reboot to do
it. There ought to be a software command to do this, but perhaps no.
