At the risk of adding yet another "Quick Question" - if it's the same 
channel that degrades - have you tried switching the channels over [Yes, I 
know this requires someone on site to open/fiddle with the machine - and 
switching the IDE cables over]?

And, what's the state of the degraded drives afterwards - i.e. are they 
really broken? [After having been tested/thrashed in a separate box to 
verify it's condition?]

FWIW - We've been using 3ware controllers here for over a year now... We 
switched from DPT (aka Adaptec i2o) controllers over to 3ware because of 
the FreeBSD support & cost implications - and so far [crossing fingers] - 
we've never had any problems...
