Just a shot in the dark, but could be something to do with the hard drives 
themselves ?  Are these not the same units that people have been having

Different issue, but same model of drives (4 IBM 75GB DTLA)
I have been using only Quantum IDEs on all my boxes save for a few 40 gig 
Maxtors on part of my news spool.
