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

# 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 :-)
