We recently had a bunch of failed 200GB SATA Maxtors with 16MB cache in a RAID array. The Maxtors seemed very sensitive to ambient temperature (we suspected the disks had been temperature stressed although client clains an ambient room temperature of 75F), were purchased in Jan of this year. Install bonnie++ and run it on the disk without encryption and with just reiserfs, see if the disk dies or you have error messages. The non-dead maxtors in the array died with between 4 and 30 hours of stress testing in a room with an ambient of 65F... the conclusion was, that once stressed, the disks are on their way to failure, it was just a question of time.
