Those round cables provide more than just different airflow. They also
provide for better electrical noise isolation because they are twisted
pair wiring inside, instead of a flat wire geometry (which is an excellent
geometry for catching and keeping electromagnetic noise).
Sounds like just the sort of problem you were having.

Well, I checked the cable, and I was running an 80-pin cable that came with the drive. However, just to be sure, I went out and bought one of those $12 US Ultra-133 aerodynamic cables (they're round instead of ribbon, to make airflow better) and put that in. I haven't seen any problems since. I'll keep my fingers crossed... and make sure that I have a current backup! :)
