Yup, the /dev/ad4 drive looks perfect.  I can see it was just recently
put into use.  :-)  Issue is with the system, the controller, (a
remote possibility given the situation) the PSU, or the driver for the
controller.

Sorry I can't be of more help past this point, but we've at least mostly
ruled out the possibility of the disk itself being problematic.
