I'd say you have an issue with one of the drives and/or the RAID controller then... Check with the drive manufacturer, usually they have utilities to check for bad drives. The ones I've use in the past you boot from a CD and then go through a scan process to check the drives. You've ruled out all the other hardware except the drives and controller.
