While almost certainly not related to you issues, the RED and similar drives only make sense when you're using hardware RAID.  Hardware RAID will reject drives if they do not respond within a few seconds, and RED drives will abort data recovery early to prevent this from happening.  If you're using software RAID, this does not happen, and so you may as well stick with standard drives that try to recover their data a bit harder.
