Interesting. I never suspected the fact that just storing the hard drives could have caused that failure. I'm still suspecting the magnet in the speaker because I had faulty sectors before the drives gave way.

Ha, we'll never know. :)

And thanks for pointing that out: RAID is not a backup. That should be said over and over again.

Now the vibrations from the speaker could def bork a drive or two. Some of the drives aggressive head parking along with some vibrations :D. Did you get smart output from the drives?
