Good call. It reports that there are 12 errors on the drive. They all look more or less the same:
Error 9 [8] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 19635 hours (818 days + 3 hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.
After command completion occurred, registers were: ER -- ST COUNT LBA_48 LH LM LL DV DC -- -- -- == -- == == == -- -- -- -- -- 40 -- 51 00 00 00 00 09 c0 0b 06 00 00 Error: UNC at LBA = 0x09c00b06 = 163580678
I suppose I should first replace the cable and if the problem persists then replace the drive.
Uncorrectable Errors with specific LBAs are usually a very solid indicator for a defective drive. If you could share the full `smartctl -x /dev/sda` output, we might be able to establish/identify some further hints on a failing drive instead of a bad cable. I would strongly suggest to take a final backup of whatever is still accessible (if desired) and then decomission the drive.
