My educated case is that it was a bad batch of drives (Bought them 
sooner after their introduction).  Drives in the enclosure from other 
MFR's have held up reliably and heat has been a non-issue.

Dan might want to see if hdparm has a tunable for the TLER setting he's 
concerned about.  Modern mdadm versions will attempt to rewrite a sector 
if there's a read error using parity or mirrors to reconstruct the data. 
 For this purpose having a short timeout before getting an error would 
be preferable to waiting a couple minutes.
