My drives are internal SATA & I have multiple nodes all showing this message:

Not quite the same thing, of course.. but hoping you can tell me something about it. All drives & motheboards are same model. All are showing this error message at seemingly random intervals.


I would have to find a copy of my old logs but I seem to remember this issue on my old computer and the newer drives with the controller. I bounced my head around this for ages.

I found an updated firmware driver for the controller, not official, that improved the operation but didn't fix the error messages. I then got a PCI SATA card that fixed the problem. My motherboard died a few weeks later from capacitor rot.

I would check for a new firmware for the controller and see if that fixes the problem. Note, my ASUS bios didn't update the firmware as it was separate from the BIOS.

I did a quick search on the JMicron JMB361 and noticed that there were many people having issues when this chip first came out. Some of the problems seem to depended on the motherboard.
