While it sounds like you've figured out this problem, one thing to remember when you are building disk arrays is to use disks from different production runs. When you start to approach the MTTF for drives, the ones in the same production run tend to fail at about the same time (i.e. the bell curve for MTTF is more of a spike). Getting drives from different production runs gives you a larger bell.... -SR
