The 300gig 7200.9 drives would fail every time when tring to build a RAID 5. The 7200.9 have 1 more plattere than the 7200.10 do (3 vs 2). Difference has to be in the LBA table sector/heads/platters. Every time someone attempts to install drives with the total cap > 1T, all sorts of strange problems pop up. You being the 1st with the DOT 10's, extended time to build the array originally, and resync time....

It's should not take 48hr to format a raid 5 when a 4x250 only takes 5-6 hrs. I under stand the resyn time taking longer while the unit is still in use. The extra ram should help that part.
