Started getting massive amounts of drive related errors for all 4 drives. I replaced the worst drive (based on read/write errors) and re-silvered. New drive started throwing errors soon after replacement. Shut it down and checked every card and cable connection in the box. Found a loose red wire in the molex connector to the drive bay, the wire slipped right out of the crimped connection. Fixed the connection and fired the box back up. After off-lining, wiping and re-silvering a couple of drives (one at a time), the box is back to normal.
So, the only help I can provide from this experience is that when you see multiple failures all at once, look for a common cause.
