I think I've solved my Spin Retry Count problem

I agree. There seems to be no plausible causal relationship between a
faulty data cable and a spin retry issue. It would be a bit like
blaming a flat tyre on a flat battery.
There is one possibility that might explain it that I've been thinking
of recently. When the drive was connected via IDE, it was one of the
first drives detected by the BIOS, whereas now that it's connected via
SATA it's one of the last drives. It's perhaps possible that the
additional resting time in between gives it more time to get ready for
the BIOS when the detection procedure comes around to it.
