PHYRdyChg under load is very symptomatic of inadequate power supply.
If you run "smartctl -a" on the device before and after the error,
what counters change?
If you have two PSUs around, one thing worth trying is to power up the
second PSU separately and put half of the drives on the separate PSU
and see whether the problem goes away or the pattern of failures
changes. PSU can be easily powered up w/o motherboard.
