There's nothing wrong with the Sata controller, other drives on the same machine work no probs. I'm not saying it is bricked, but it came very close I think, I certainly won't be running 9879 on it again.
At least half a dozen BSODs and not showing up in the BIOS arent very healthy for a new drive. I've been using Windows since DOS and DOS before that and I've never seen anything like this before. Normally I would have thought it's the drive, but it seems quite a few other people are experiencing this, so it's not the drive.
