It couldn't be cable, because all tests were on different cables. Unfortunately,
I don't have another machine. I try find one, but it wouldn't be fast. This drive
used early and I didn't have any problems. It was unused some time and may be something 
happened with it.
Note, it was slave only with another hard disk, in other cases it was master (single on
cable).
