It's the way libata works, it's a good thing.

I have no knowledge of how to interpret these values so I rely on the
SMART selftest (-H) to tell me if the drive is bad.
Since apparently the selftest passes I'd suggest you grab the vendor
diagnostic tool (seatools in this case) and have it run a full scan of
the drive. If seatools says the drive is good then it probably is and
the problem lies elsewhere (bad or inadequate powersupply perhaps?)
