I did exchange power supply and I did exchange hard drives. The same
hard drive with the same cable works with SB600 and produces errors with
JMB363. So looks like it is not cable or hard drive problem. May be the
problem is JMB363 port connector on the motherboard. How can I check it?

Try new motherboard of same brand and model :/

In general, tons of ATA bus errors and SError complaints indicate some sort of problem at the physical layer/level. Its always possible that software is to blame, but bug report patterns so far tend to point to hardware.
