Were the drives completely initialized?
I remember that at least one vendor had implemented read-past-write for
every sector when written first.
It was with 15k 3.5" spindles and I'm really not sure which vendor it
was, so I won't name any. But "slow init" had solved a similir problem
for me back then...
