Unfortunately, the cables were not the issue. I tried with different
cables and different machines. I returned my drive and got a replacement
of a different brand, which has lasted longer than the other two
combined. I still think the issue may have been caused by issuing a
S.M.A.R.T, but I'm unable to do any further testing. I'll change this
bug to invalid until someone else has a similar issue with OCZ Petrols.

Title:
SMART causes SSD to die with unhandled error code
Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have an OCZ Petrol 128GB SSD, if I run S.M.A.R.T via gnome-disk-
utility my system freezes because it remounts the drive read only.
Checking my syslog I see a lot of "unhandled error code" messages. If
I then do a soft reboot, the SSD is not detected in POST; I have to
hard reset to see it again.
This is my second OCZ Petrol, because the first one completely died in
more-or-less the same manner: it stopped showing in POST. So, I fear
it may be gnome-disk-utility causing this, and not two random failing
drives.
Here's an except from my syslog:
