Since it is not a "switch on and see" problem, I'm not in too good
position, so unless someone have a really great idea or observation,
I seriously have to consider to replace the MB and probably add
some extra sata controllers.
If you can still do some testing, what happens if you unplug power to
the failed drive and replug it while the system is still running? Does
hotplug event get triggered and the drive gets recognized again? If so,
does unplugging and replugging the SATA controller only (w/o powering
down the drive) achieve the same thing?
I doubt I will start another week of testing without any major changes,
I didn't do drive hotplug, but as for the controllers, they're are all on-
board ones...
I guess new (and different) motherboard and sata controllers cards will
be the next thing to change, 'cause I strongly believe that PSU-s are fine
and should be enough for the system.
