FWIW, I had a similar situation crop up a couple of years ago with *five
different* Seagate SATA drives: they grew some specific type of bad spot
on the drive which, if you even tried to read it, would *knock the drive
adapter off line until powercycle*; even a reboot didn't clear it.
Nice writeup.
