Go to http://www.hgst.com/hdd/support/download.htm, download the Drive
Fitness Test (DFT) utility and run it to test the drives.

If the drives are fine you may check if the cabling is ok.

I once had a 'fallback to PIO mode' error with a Promise TX2 IDE RAID
controller and two IBM IC35L040AVER07-0/ER4OA44A.
Each drive had a couple of fans in front of it and one of this was
failing and noisy. I unplugged the fans and the problem went away. I
know this is very strange... but I never had any problem since then!
