I had an 8 TB External USB disk plugged into the system, that I had been using for additional space for backups, I was under the impression that sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd were the four disks on the raid controller card,
Not exactly. If you have a RAID5 array, then you have one volume spread across the physical disks. You can then divide that into smaller virtual disks, each of which is still spread across disks. The OS doesn't see the four component disks, directly.
but after unplugging the usb drive when running hdparm I am getting this: [root@daisy dev]# hdparm -tT /dev/sdb /dev/sdb: read() hit EOF - device too small
sdb was the disk that appeared in the kernel errors, so I'd imagine that you've fixed the problem by removing the USB drive enclosure.
I'm still trying to find the exact smartctl command syntax to make it work.
