Well, from the "cmdk" device paths and "cXdY" disk names it
seems that the disks are used in IDE mode (as ATA connection
in smartmontools also confirms). I believe disks of this size
are "bound to be" SATA or SAS, if you change the BIOS modes
accordingly. There may be a problem when changing the rpool
from IDE to SATA and back, but it is one with known solutions.
I believe using native SATA mode can have benefits absent in
IDE and/or hampered by translation like command queuing and
higher IO speeds.

I am not sure if the IDE-SATA translation in the motherboard
does/should pass all commands, like the optional SMART ones,
as well.

Also you may have to play around with smartctl -d option to
pick a disk access mode (i.e. "-d scsi" is often needed for
my SATA disks); perhaps you'd find a mode which works in
your current setup.
