June 28, 201313 yr Author I was able to narrow it down to the smallest HD in the array also the hottest that failed. It had no data on it so no real loss. I installed more fans and brought the temp of the hottest drive down from 53C on parity check to 41C. Thanks everyone for the help.

June 28, 201313 yr Glad you found the issue. One note: The PSU you're using has 2 12v rails ... so even though it's got far more 12v capacity than you need, that capacity isn't useable unless you re-wire the outputs on the 2nd rail to use for some of your drives (not difficult, but if you're not comfortable doing that I wouldn't try it). Next time you feel like upgrading a bit, I'd replace the PSU with a high-quality single-rail unit ... the Seasonic X series or Corsair HX series are my favorites for this.
