I have got the rid by upgrading my drives firmware and adapter firmware too. What's interesting that you have same adapter firmware ( pci-4.03.00 ) which caused troubles to me. Fact is that the errors I got aren't caused by flakey cables or smthg. similar - all is same and I haven't got any errors since upgrading. I can also note that replacing the ncr controller with an adaptec one helped in the same way. Same cables, same drives and no firmware updates either, but no errors somewhere.
