Fair enough. :) Thanks for the response.

So the big question (to all) becomes this: is this a hard drive issue,
or a motherboard / SATA controller issue? Either one would suck, but
hard drives are obviously easier to swap than a motherboard.

Thoughts on how to go about diagnosing the issue further to determine
what is going on would be greatly appreciated. Aside from replacing
all the drives and hoping for the best, I don't see an easy way to
really figure out what is causing the I/O errors that are resulting in
bad sectors.
