And to test with just one disk on the controller, specifically the
Seagate,
but also with just the Quantum, to eliminate a possible bad interaction
between the disks and to eliminate possible incompatible firmware in
either of the disks to that of the Adaptec controller.  Since you haven't
done that we still don't know if possibly it would work fine with only
one of the disks on the chain.

It would have been an invalid conjecture because while your utility power
might be bad, the power your getting from your UPS certainly isn't.  I do
assume you have this on a UPS, right?
