I'm also pasting smartctl -a
for sda, sdb and sdc.
Thanks in advance for your help.

While I essentially agree with Geppettvs D'Constanzo's answer, I would suggest that some of the first things you might also try are
Checking that your SATA cable is securely attached and plugged into the sockets on the motherboard and hard drive.
Replacing your SATA cable. SATA cables are (relatively) inexpensive and you do sometimes get a "bad" one. Often simply replacing the cable is the easiest way to diagnose and solve a problem like this.
(Although it is somewhat unexpected that two cables would both be bad at the same time. Still, it's an easy thing to check so in my opinion probably worth doing.)
I just saw you pastbins containing the SMART data for your drives. Notice the unexpectedly large number of CRC errors for drives
sdb
andsdc
. I suggest you start by checking the cables and connections for those drives.OK. So not a latpop then. ;-)
Of course, if this is happening on a laptop than none of the above apply and I'm not sure what advice to offer. Maybe remove and re-install the hard drive? Perhaps it just needs to be re-seated in its socket to improve the connection?sbd
andsdc
are connected on the same external e-sata cable (Thermaltake Duo HDD Dock). i'll replace my e-sata cable.It could be due to a faulty or low quality cable. It could also be that the cable is somehow moved, bumped, or otherwise jostled while the drive is being used.
