Connect only one of the drives and just check if the problem occurs as such. Also try replacing your data cable.

there is a loose connection, usuall this happens when power cable is loose. may be on of the pin or so. remove them and put it back firmly also see if the plugs are in normal condition. ( i mean the hole shd not be bigger than it should be). if all these are fine then check with your SMPS if its older n giving variable voltage...
