One of my internal hard drives randomly disconnects from the computer its installed in.  Usually to fix it I have to shut it down and swap around the SATA cables, then it works for a while until it disconnects again.    

What could be causing this and what's the solution?  And where can I get a good reliable hard drive on the cheap?  1TB.  Or is it more likely the motherboard?

The primary hard drive that the OS is installed on has not been disconnecting.

Have you tried connecting the primary drive to the other connector? This would probably eliminate the mother board as the culprit. Newegg.com has been my go-to source for hard drives if you need another.
