The fack that all the drives die makes me think may be your puter is not properly ventilated and the hard disks get very hot. You may have had very bad luck with all the drives but that is not very likely. A bad cable would give you read/write errors but it won't make your disk make loud repetitive clicking noises! A FreeBSD driver can not be at fault either with modern IDE or SCSI drives. See if the disks get very hot and if so, see if keeping the box open and pointing a big fan at the disks make the errors go away. If the heat is a problem, you can do a number of things to keep good air flow around disks.
