Nigel,
I found the article very useful too!
You say your disk hangs but all the attributes indicate a healthy disk.
One way to know this for sure is to put your disk in another machine. If
it works fine, you can exclude the disk. If it still hangs, you probably
know for sure that the disk (or the content) is screwed.
There are five (at least) failure points
Motherboard/integrated controller
(Slot connector to non-integrated controller)
Connectors on cable/motherboard (or controller)
Cable
Connectors on cable/disc
Disc
When I have a problem like this, I always start with wiggling the
connectors. Then I try flexing the cable. There might also be
problems with the power connector and/or cable, and a little
judicious wiggling and flexing can sometimes reveal a problem.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
