RE: with the data going over the SATA cable to RAM

Cool little computer there.

For me the controversial part is spending money on something which may or may not help. Details about what was done seem important but hard to get in this case.

For example an improperly applied shield might not help a common mode problem at all. Common mode problems can be tricky that way, ie is your shield ground actually ground or is it some resonating pseudo ground which causes your "shield" to become part of the problem? Usually addressing the source, beads, or some other form of filtering are easier than creating a proper shield when faced with a cable radiating common mode energy.

The details of the nature of the shielding seem especially important to me in the case of situations where noise problems are occurring during periods of little to no sata bus activity as it does sound like a common mode problem.
