Timing on raid 5 drive are criticle.

Did you try re-instatalling the problem drive after SpinRite blocked out the bad sectors?

I did with mine, after Spinrite used up over 1/2 of the spare sectors. So far no more problems. What you were running in to was that the SMART tech was tring to repair /remap sectors on the fly. Which makes it timeout if it has several back to back. All of mine were in 2 different areas.
