I ran a short one and it said it was all good.  When I try to run the
long one, it keeps aborting.  I'm not sure why it is doing that tho.  I
may just change the sata cable completely.  Bad thing is, it is right
next to the drive my OS is on so I want to shutdown to do that.  Just in
case the wrong one comes unplugged.
