Seems like the hotplug code is triggering.  That signals to me there is 
some connection problem.  Maybe you have a bad cable, or maybe the cable 
is just seated improperly in one of the two SATA plugs.

It's also possible your motherboard or drive SATA plug is faulty, but I 
would replace the cable first.
