Dave- These are just general observations of how SATA drives operate in storage clusters. It has been a while since I have run a storage cluster with SATA drives, but in the past I did notice that SATA drives would drop off the controllers pretty frequently. Depending on many factors, it may just be a brief outage where the drive wasn't available but recoverable, sometimes it meant going into the controller and rescanning for drives before they could be added back to the system, the worst was one chassis that would mark the drives as failed after the drive dropped off a certain number of times and the vendor could not correct the issue with a firmware update and had to replace the storage chassis.
