Check your power cables. Is there any of the wires maybe touching your chassis? Sometimes this can kill harddrives like that.

Thats the only thing I can think of.

Check everything, cables, ram, I seen a system that was ROCK stable that started giving write errors & all around bad performance. i was BAD RAM , but bad cables will do it too,check everything.
