You haven't actually included anything that suggests that there's a
problem occurring, so it's somewhat difficult to guess what's going on.
However, I don't lend much credibility to the suggestion that "FreeBSD
does something to damage the hadware raid" - things just don't happen
like that.
I would be inclined to suspect that you probably have a suspect disk, or
cabling/enclosure problems, but without more details it's hard to be sure.
