Everything looks OK from a SMART point of view:

Yep, set the SATA I jumper before setting the drives up.

You mean that was not the issue ? You have
Defects tend to happen to all the units in a certain production run.
If one goes, the others may go before you can replace & rebuild the
first bad drive.
Fair enough.
I'd still prefer to have all my RAID drives be the same manufacturer
+ model. Maybe that's just an ingrained habit I picked up

For SATA, you need to add "-d ata" to the command line, i.e.:
# smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda
bungo:~# smartctl -d ata /dev/sda

There was/is an issue with certain Maxtor SATA hard disk drives.
In some cases, it is necessary to force them to SATA-I mode (1.5
gb/s). There's a jumper in the back for that.
Yep, set that :-)

Hi there,
I have a file server, running Etch, with the following specs:
P4, 1.7Ghz
512MB Ram
2 x SI based SATA I controllers
4 x Maxtor 250GB SATA drives
It is set up with software RAID 5, and the overall performance is terrible.
Every time it reboots (which happens due to dodgy power!), it do
