The controller is crap, and is expected to have serious issues no matter what drives are on the controller. Given the green's don't seem to have any reallocated blocks, I am guessing the controller is 90%+ of the problem, and right now may be all of the problem. If you lose all of the disks on the marvell controller at roughly the same time, that is the controller bug and not a disk issue. It also does not seem to be caused by a disk issue, the controller just seems to have a race condition when multiple operations are being done at the same time the controller just "crashes" and stops responding to all drives on that controller.
