I switched SATA and power supply cables for this disc with cables from disc that works fine and problem still persists. So either it's a hardware problem associated with this disc (I eliminated other hardware factors) or some strange software/S.M.A.R.T bug. I downgraded smartmontools to 5.39.1-1.fc13 and problem persists. So I guess the final factor that needs to be eliminated is kernel bug. > > -- > J.
