    Did you check the failed disk using Maxtor's utility, and did it report any
    errors? I have about the same situation -- 4.10-STABLE reporting a read error
    every few days, each time on a different disk, but every time it turned out
    that the disk really was good according to Maxtor's tests :(

    That's also a possibility, but I've seen it happen on 3 different controllers
    already, which imho is too much coincidence for it to really be a controller
    failure. I'm still in the dark as to what it really is though. It could very
    well still be a hardware error in my case (heat and memory not yet ruled out).
