Startup device error status: { DRDY ERR } and error: { ABRT }. What could it be?

Startup error photos:

ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
ata1.00: error: { ABRT }
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x5
ata1.00: failed command: READ DMA
ata1.00: cmd c8/00:20:00:c1:e7/00:00:00:00:00/ee tag 0 dma 16384 in res 51/04:20:00:c1:e7/00:00:00:00:00/ee Emask 0x1 (device error)

Any ideas?

Changing SATA settings from IDE to AHCI in BIOS worked for me.

In my case it was ... the connector was not properly plugged in.
