You may a SATA cable issue. Can you Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support and run a diagnostics test?

I cannot run the test but I will take it to an Apple Store to get it checked out. I thought maybe an HD issue but didn't think about the cable.

I Have been having issues on the apple side as well (frequent restart) which might be related

thanks

Please check the Application -> Utilities -> Console logs on the OSX side for any disk messages. The AHT is built into your Mac firmware. Please also see Using Apple Diagnostics - Apple Support.
