Updating the firmware of the motherboard<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nUnfortunately, none of these fixed the problem. I also checked the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drives but I didn’t see any issues. One thing I noticed is that the error is not consistent. It happens randomly on different SATA port and hard drive. That doesn’t make any sense to me because I saw the same thing on 3 different motherboards. Finally, I decided to try one last thing: I connected the hard drives through an USB port. Guess what, my FreeBSD box stopped complaining.<\/p>\n
So I decided to a different approach. I used the same hardware setup (the hard drives were connected using SATA instead of USB) and loaded a Windows. The system worked perfectly fine and stable. I didn’t experience any issue at all. So I believed the problem had nothing to do with the hardware. It must be the software settings issue.<\/p>\n
Finally, I decided to try one last thing, something I hadn’t paid attention before: BIOS Settings<\/p>\n
AHCI\/IDE<\/h2>\n
Typically there is a setting to control how the motherboard interacts with the hard drives: IDE or AHCI. I usually stick with the default settings. In my case, the default value of my motherboard is IDE. After I changed the settings to AHCI, I found that the problem is gone. Yes, it’s gone and my headache is gone too.<\/p>\n
That was easy!<\/p>\n
