there is still another tiny option. Your power line. Connect the
machine to the UPS and unplug the UPS from the power line. The machine
should now 100% run from battery. If you still get the failures, it is
most likely something in the machine.

As it all seems to be caused by the seek errors, can you take the
drives out and let them run being on a table or chair. I have heard
once from a strange problem with vibration.

Just try to isolate the drives mechanically from the machine but keep
them electrically connected.
