Actually, look at the drive controller, vice the drive. The drive probably
is okay, but the controller is where you are getting the driver error on.
Also, even if the device manager is saying everything is up-to-date, there
still may be newer drivers at the manufacturer. Even though it's not as easy
as Windows Update, it's always better to get your drivers from the HW
manufacturer anyway.

Good luck and regards,
