There are several ground pins, so I don't believe the damaged pin has anything to do with you problems.

I would run a SMART diagnostic and a surface scan of your drive. Look for reallocated, pending, or uncorrectable sectors. The scan may also show "slow" sectors, ie those that require several retries before they can be read.
