Thanks for the info.

There is still one thing I do not understand. I have made a test -- I 
have connected three SATA hard drives directly to the controller using 
cable supplied with the controller. The error still occurred. Then I 
have changed the cable to the one supplied with other controller, as 
well as hard drives (but model was still the same) and the error message 
was still occurring.

I have changed controller (I have a few of them) but again, the problem 
still existed.

The only unusual thing I have noticed during the test, was that all 
ST31000340NS drives  worked at 1.5Gbps, not 3.0Gbps link speed.

I have made plenty of the dd tests and all were fine (both with NCQ and 
without).
