Just a point that's not often mentioned, SATA cables should not be bent or folded, any change in its direction should be a smooth curve. One folded before use, then straightened out, may be permanently mangled. Mangled cables can cause data disruption, that is anything that passes along it. Your data, the metadata the filing system uses, etc. Also, some cables don't make a great connection to the drive. They may work loose thanks to vibration. Reseating cables (pull out, plug back in), sometimes resolves some cabling problems. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
