Hi,

Where I work we have the same problem we were not however able to get rid
of this problem by elimination ie. we replaced scsi cable, scsi adapter
and like you we replaced the drive (same specs same seagate) twice with the
same results.  We also added a fan for the drive noticing it became quite hot
with no improvement.

Last that remains is probly a swap of the motherboard which seems wrong since
the motherboard doesn't touch the drives at all ie. there is a controller 
inbetween.  Power supply we thought may cause it too but swapping the power
cables to drives this did not seem a problem.

We've sticked this drive into another host of almost the same configuration
and ran bonnie continuously on it as so that we would put continuous use on
the drive with no errors reported.  

Sincerely,
