I don't agree that drives tend to fail when running on RAID. I worked for LSI for almost 2 full years and there is nothing in the RAID controller that makes the sectors bad. The RAID controller just optimizes the read or write from/to the HDDbut don't harness to make the HDD survive less. The problem may lie on the hard disks or it could be the continuous read/write usage that makes the magnetic storage disks wear out so early. Coming to the original problem: The drives feel hot to touch... there may be a serious problem here. This could be because of heavy usage.
