hi
almost the same happened to me with Promise RAID card and couple of IDE WDs
(100..120GB).
finally I found that the source of these problems was noise-reduction feature
that is turned on on some IDE disks which were probably designed for
desktops. so I upgraded firmware on all WDs to turn it off - and voila - it
works just fine !
details here:

hope this helps
