This, to me, suggests a power issue. When my Soekris supplied wall warts started to go, I'd get behavior like that on my 5501 with just a CF card. Assuming you're powering the drive through the Soekris and it draws more power than the other two drives, it could be you're over taxing the power supply. You could try an experiment and try to find a way to power the drive externally.
