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.
