One disk disconnects and reconnects as a new device

Hi all,

I have a raspberry pi 4B with 4 1TB SSD plugged in the SATA hat and arranged in 2 hardware raid (RAID 0) (following Setting up HARDWARE RAID with QUAD SATA-HAT (jms561 controller)). The hat is directly powered with the DC adapter.

This is what it looks like.

$ lsblk
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda           8:0    0  1.8T  0 disk 
└─sda1        8:1    0  1.8T  0 part /media/raida
sdb           8:64   0  1.8T  0 disk 
└─sdb1        8:65   0  1.8T  0 part /media/raidb
mmcblk0     179:0    0 14.8G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1    0  256M  0 part /boot
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2    0 14.6G  0 part /

However, every day or so, the second disk fails and immediately reconnect as a new device (first /dev/sdc, then /dev/sdd, and currently /dev/sde. The UUID is listed in fstab so it mounts back to /media/raidb when I run sudo mount -a.

Note the disk in question is under constant heavy use (between 60-200MB/s read and 1-10MB/s write). The other disk (/dev/sda) is under moderate use and experiences no problem whatsoever.

I have read the seemingly related post: [solved] SATA HAT disconnects disk on heavy use but I don’t get the usb errors that they were getting so I am not sure the problem is the same.

It happened again overnight (/dev/sdd dying and coming back as /dev/sde) and I tracked the event in /var/log/message:

I don’t know how to read this. Is it a sata HAT failure or a disk failure or a USB failure? What can I do about it?

Please let me know what other logs would be relevant and I’ll update!
