Don't top post, it's against list policy. See my siganture for a 
reasonable reason why. 

Replace the port or just moved the drive to an unused port? Or did you 
physically remove the card and solder a new SATA Female port to your 
card (which I would imagine would violate/void your warranty on the 
card.

Essentially this is what you've done so far:

    1. Changed drives
    2. Changed SATA Cable
    3. Moved to an unused port

To be perfectly honest, it sounds like a faulty card, which was my 
original assessment. First I would see replacement on the same card 
under the warranty, if it still produces a problem, I would change 
cards. There is a slim chance it could also be a driver issue.
