Disk Offlined - bad disk or bad connection?

[h0rnman]

Hey guys, I recently had a power outage, and ever since, I am stuck with a disk that keeps getting offlined due to write errors.  The disk itself is less than a year old, and SMART and xfs_repair both report no errors, and it's been fully functional up until the power outage (no errors).  I have tried to re-add the disk to the array twice now, but it's failed both times with the same write errors.  I've attached my SMART report and what I think are the relevant sections of the Syslog.  To those with more experience, does this look like a bad disk or more like a bad cable?

Connection problems on disks 2,3

 

Both disks look OK, but you should set Unraid to monitor attributes 1 and 200 for WD disks. Click on a disk to get to its settings.

 

Check connections, both ends, SATA and power, including splitters. Maybe replace cables.

What exactly do you mean by this?

I stopped the array, set that slot to No Device, Started the array, Stopped, Added it back as Disk 3, then restarted the array one last time.  Both times I've done this, I get those write errors.

 

I'll have a chance to check connections tonight.  I'm hoping that's all it is.

OK, that is the standard procedure for rebuilding a disk to itself. Just wanted to make sure you were doing the right thing.
