No I don't think it is those two. If you look at the error
it is an 'uncorrectable error' - bad cables normally give
either CRC errors (especially on UDMA) or timeouts.
Kernel screw ups are normally 'Busy' or timeouts.
third , the disk is dying
Coupled with the SMART stuff talking about sectors pending
for remapping it is bad news.
