Hiya Merth Dude, I had exactly the same thing happen to me... and I too, thought it was the controller, but guess what?...
It was actually piss poor cables...
When a computer is turned on/off, that heating/cooling action, will cause the cable to "walk" right out of its socket... Believe it or not, but it happens...
The new cable technoledgy for SATA drives, has now got a locking mechanism to combat this... But cheap cables are still available too... so be carefull what you buy...
and I was going to sugest to Grizz Dude, that if your computer is Busted, then open that babe up and look inside... maybe the problem is a simple cable has come off... couldn't hurt to try... since it Busted anyways...
and Ya JFK, I work with video files and 1hrs worth of DvD quality is about 2 gigs of drive space... until its burned onto a disc, for storage...
