If find it a little odd that it happens in 4.8/9 but not in 5.1. I have seen something like this twice. Once was bad cables and the other time the drive was getting ready to die. Are they both on the same drive? If so I would really begin suspecting that there may be a drive problem... such as the disk going bad in a spot. I have had this happen to me one, the drive for the most part would read everything fine till it got to one part, thankfully I was able to replace it in time befor it totally failed. You may want to check around on current and stable lists if the hardware checks out good.
