I think the cable is a likely cause for your errors on both drives.  If 
it were my drive I'd do whatever seemed easy to verify the files on it 
and then not worry about it.

The only time I've seen these errors is when the drive was failing.  You 
can use badblocks to help diagnose that but you'd be best off verifying 
the drive with the manufacturer's diagnostics.

Although gmail may make it convenient for you to reply to yourself over 
and over you'll get better answers if your posts are convenient for your 
readers.  That means complete but concise.
