We sort of went through something similar to this on our offsite/DR
backup server just last week. I dont have as many disks as you, but

we were seeing all sorts of random errors

on multiple disks and on multiple controllers... I have disks off the MB
and off 2 PMPs on an sil3124 controller.
We narrowed it down to 2 problems.  Failing / Marginal power supply and
bad SATA cables. After changing the power supply, we still had a few
disks errors.
smartctl said all disks didnt have errors...  Changed the SATA cables,
and those too were fixed.
After almost 5 days of uptime, no problems at all now.  Not one error.
