Since you've already found one HW related fault, would you consider
booting into memtest for a couple of passes just to be on the safe
side. And did you by any chance look at SMART if applicable and
possibly running a test on the drives. Another test I sometimes do
when I'm unsure about disks is "cat /dev/sda > /dev/null" (i.e. a
whole disk read test) and see (dmesg) if any errors show up, unless
you're willing to run badblocks in a read-write nondestructive mode.
In my experience the read test or badblocks can be run simultaneously
with smartctl -t long. But as a start I'd look at smartctl --all
/dev/sd? and see if there are any bad signs. I hope this helps. Good luck
