Related to my previous tests, it seems that after I changed the order of the
hard-disks connected to Promise Sata300TX4 the errors followed both of the
7200.10 disks. I swapped the power supply and the SATA-cables at the same
time
and still get the following kind of errors (and only with 7200.10, _never_
with
the older 7200.7 disks):

The problems seem to be generated from simple ATA-READ commands:
ATA_CMD_READ = 0xC8,
ATA_CMD_READ_EXT = 0x25,
but I have absolutely no idea what is causing them ... The both disks
have nothing special in their SMART-records:

Any good ideas from where to search for the solution to this error messages ?

>> 2. Try with a better power supply and verify that cooling is OK.
>> Also verify that the SATA data and power cables are firmly attached.
