Can anyone help me figure out why one drive in my RAID 1 array continually disconnects? Time between disconnects is measured in hours. I can clean the drive and add it back as a spare and it rebuilds fine, only to "disconnect" again a few hours later. It may be a coincidence, but the problem first popped up after running Windows Update on June 30, though the machine was less than 2 days old at this point so I cannot say with 100% certainty that the update was to blame. I know there was a compatibility problem with the older RAID drivers and the latest Windows 10, is this perhaps a new driver issue with the latest RAID driver? Any tips on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
System details:
Here is my RAID log that includes a disconnect, rebuild and second disconnect:

Quick follow up; I replaced the drive (the original was brand new) and simultaneously moved it to a different SATA port, and now it has been a couple of days without a failure. Too early to say it's fixed, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Final follow up; as of today it's still error free, so it seems the problem was most likely either a bad SSD out of the box, or maybe something wrong with SATA port 1 (second port) on my motherboard.
