You shouldn't be having ATA resetting issues.

Looks like more faulty batches, just not the exact same symptoms.

A test for this:

Use HD Tune trial and do random seeks and multiple writes and see if it hangs. (takes an absurdly amount of time to complete) If it does that, then it's done for!
If it hangs, check the event log for multiple messages from Windows about storahci having a problem with the SATA communication.

Same if the test hung with Crystal Disk Mark.
