I'd give odds the drive is fine and the sata cable is bad. Whenever I see that "hard resetting link" message, the cable is my first suspect.
What actual errors does the drive report (smartctl --log)?
If the drive was the source of the problem it will have logged it internally.
After having backed up my data I ran the long self test. No errors logged. So I'll give the cable a try. Thanks for hint! Also, we don't have smartd enabled by default. I guess we should though.

Your comment about smartd seems like a non-sequitur. Smartd has the job of copying internal disk logs to syslog so admins will notice them. The internal disk log exists independent of what smartd is doing. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
