SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 1.5 Gb/s)
while my other drives are:
sda: current 6.0 Gb/s sdc: current 6.0 Gb/s
Also, the kernel reported a hard link reset before the drive ended up at 1.5 Gb/s.
Could a bad SATA cable, SATA port, or power connection explain the link resets, fallback to 1.5 Gb/s, and subsequent filesystem errors, even though SMART doesn’t show CRC errors? Or do you think it’s dying anyway?
do you think maybe a bad sata cable damage the disk and that is the link between the two?
