Ive got the same board as your client and there are some wierd issues with the sata controller which could cause errors. Mine only manifested as incorrect windows performance index of 7.3 on a standard sata 2 drive lol. However this could easily lead to other problems.
Sorted mine with a driver update and upgrading to sp1.

Also as mentioned above this board should have six internal sata ports split accross two controllers. Make sure both drives are on the primary controller (4 ports). this one performs faster and possibly more stable in my experience. Although if it is on the primary already and if changing sockets doesnt help switching to the secondary could be worth a try.
