Hard drive 'Hard resetting link'

Got a new HD for my aging server. Is a WD500AAKS. This rig has no SATA, so I connected through a VIA card that was working ok with a WD 80G. Now I get these messages.

May  6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.444092] ata3: hard resetting link
May  6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.780064] ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
May  6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.807356] ata3.00: configured for UDMA/33
May  6 18:57:30 asuracenturix kernel: [114177.807395] ata3: EH complete

Do you think is a hardware problem? Should I return the drive? This means without the server until the shop graciously checks the drive and decide it is MY problem?

1	It may be that it's underpowered. link answered 07 May '10, 00:50 Ben Kibbey 11●1 accept rate: 0% Thanks. I read that somewhere and took out another hard-drive as to reduce the consumption, but nothing changed. (07 May '10, 18:43) LiquidPaper

0	Is this set as you primary disk, is the controller the primary target set in your system BIOS? link answered 08 May '10, 01:51 1jnike 96●1 accept rate: 8% No, the system boots from PATA (and has a SONY CD only) in the slave channel. (13 May '10, 23:14) LiquidPaper
