could someone plz explain those ext3/hard disk errors

[JG]

hi,

i'm getting many many disk errors and there already died 4 hard disks (IDE, different vendors) within two months (even the newer ones). i was able to save most of the data, but now even my spare disks are full and since 1 hour the next 2 disks are showing problems.
i don't know if the mainboard, the raid controller or all disks are dying, everything else works fine but it seems very strange that 6 disks die that fast.

could someone please explain those errors? i know they are many, but i'm completely lost.

hdi = 200gb maxtor
hdj = 200gb maxtor
hdk = 120gb seagate
mainboard = elitegroup k7s5a
raidcontroller = highpoint rocketraid 404, hpt374
kernel 2.6.2

recently died 3 160gb maxtor and 1 120gb hitachi/ibm
