I am curious if anyone else has had major problems with SATA drives on the current series of kernels. I have (or rather had) two SATA drives on my system - the first was a Maxtor MaxLine 500 and the second was a Maxtor MaxLine 250. [...]
If harddisks get too hot they die pretty quickly. The current harddisks usually support SMART. Ask the disks what they think it's wrong: http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Then, check the disks with different hardware... I have seen several issues with bad cables and broken hardware. If you think that the problem is kernel related, you can boot some other distro or change the kernel to see if this problem still persists. Please post the dmesg output if you are sure the problem is kernel related...
