Per,
I don't know how you measured the load, but it is important to measure very short power surges. In particular, I'm suspicious of that load during raid1 resync. Could your technique catch a 10 msec spike etc?
Nope, not a chance. See my reply to Carlos.
I think it is the spikes that are causing trouble with Sata drives. Don't know that, but I do know that new power supplies were not a major source or error reports on lkml. Over the last year, it is extremely routine, even with new 650W supplies.
Interesting - the SATA drives have not been causing me any problems (so far), but the system is still less than stable under load.
