Felix said there are two internal SATA connectors and Per O. said he had SATA disks (plural) inside, to presumably both SATA ports are in use.
But it would probably help the diagnostic situation to try connecting the troublesome drive to the SATA port at least temporarily.
Yes, I have to take out one disk and insert the one that creates all these headaches. If the problem then disappears, it has been isolated to the USB chain of transmission.
I did some searching and found some references (more like allusions) to there being external drive enclosures that impose capacity limits on the drives they support. I couldn't find anything very definitive, but if it is a real issue, it may be what you're encountering. I still wouldn't rule out the BIOS as a source of problems, but if that's the case, I'd still say there's a good chance the SATA ports won't be affected.
