Doubt this is anything that would show up in a log.
Sounds like the drive is loosing sync (having trouble reading) so 
runs out to the end of the drive to reset itself.

A stethoscope is probably your best tool in this situation or, since 
you possibly don't have one of those right handy, a rolled-up tube of 
paper and sitting in front of the machine and listening to the drives 
when it occurs. I assume it takes a few seconds to do the resynch so 
you have a chance of catching it.

Are these RAID? If so, you could try unplugging them one at a time 
until the problem goes away. Not 100% reliable since, if the problem 
is heat related, unplugging drive 1 may cool down drive 1 
sufficiently that it makes the problem go away even though drive 1 is 
the culprit.
