Initially I'd be suspecting the SATA cable/port, but if you tried another MoBo 
did you also try a different SATA cable?

Were the ports you connected to compatible with SATA 3 revision capable of 
6Gb/s?  Notwithstanding the warnings and errors you'd want the highest 
transfer speed you can get on a new drive.
