I would do a low-level format with a manufacturer's utility and see what
it spits out. We might have some avail at the dept, but I'm not sure.

If all the 3 drives failed on the same machine I'd be reluctant to buy a
new drive and put it in there. Whether it's the controller, high temp, bad
voltage, there's a pretty high chance to fsck your future disks..
