Could be bad cables.
Could be bad drive.

What do you mean by "hot swap sata cables"?
You should not connect/disconnect sata cables, while system is on. This will lead to data corruption. Can also lead to physical damage to drive.

will try ordering a new set of sata cables, but do you think 2 cables would go bad with the same symptoms ? the drive works fine after swapping sata cables, have all games on it and can run it without problems.
have also tried to swap sata port and that also worked, but a pc restart does not work.

drive is almost a year old.
