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.

I didn't try reinstalling the drive because everytime I reran SpinRite it would find problems in other areas of the drive. It didn't seem to be centered around one area. In my opinion I had spent enough time fighting it, so I just replaced it.
