I have experienced similar problems with multiple HDs on one machine. I finally worked out that the problem was caused by the misbehaving drives not getting the right voltage or current, or both, because the several drives were overloading the power supply. Disconnected the last drive's power supply and the problems disappeared. The 3 HDs were in a PowerMac G5, and were all high capacity drives. You may somehow be getting the same problem.
