Consistency Check:
Check consistency. A check consistency determines the integrity of a virtual 
disk's redundant data. When necessary, this feature rebuilds the redundant 
information.

the remapping of bad sectors should be run automatically if the sector can't be 
written and the controller try to write or read from it.

Please check all times the controller log if you got filesystem erros like you 
described.
Check the log for Bad LBA's on the disk like searching the log file with "bad"
Check the Count of the LBA's and check if it occurs on multiple disks like a 
punctured stripe....

The log you can get per megacli or open manage:

Server Administrator cli:
omconfig storage controller action=exportlog controller=0
where controller 0 = id of the involved controller

Megacli:
Megacli -FwTermLog -Dsply -a0 > log.txt
- where a0 = controller 0

I remember reading a benchmark which showed that under random I/O 
patterns, the Linux software RAID performed better on a (from memory) 8 
disks RAID5, due to better use of SCSI scatter/gather.  I think this was 
vs. MegaRAID, but was a while ago.  I've not carried out any benchmarks 
myself, and no idea whether this goes for SATA NCQ as well...
