Ben/Daniel, I had a feeling it was to do with connectivity after pulling it out and putting it back in. Some of the error messages disappeared, however the software raid was still degrading. I then replaced the SATA cable and it seems to be all good now. Didn't think it would be something so simple.
FYI, smartctl couldn't report on it initially. Both drives passed the self assessment after having rebuilt the array. Thanks again both for the help.

SDA is a brand new drive, it was replacing another disk which was displaying similar symptoms. Is it the motherboard, or am I just unlucky and got another bad drive?
