The most likely cause of the issue described is B. Power supply. If only two out of four drives are consistently found and another drive is connecting and disconnecting randomly, it suggests an intermittent power issue. This could be due to a failing power supply unit (PSU) not providing enough power consistently to all the drives, resulting in some drives not being detected or being intermittently detected. Rebooting the server might temporarily resolve the issue as the power supply resets, but the problem persists due to the underlying issue with power delivery. Therefore, the power supply is the most likely culprit in this scenario.
