I read some time ago there is some design tradeoff for the bearings on
hard drives, they can be optimized for running a long time or for
stopping and starting like on a laptop drive. Maybe that is something
to do with it.
Your problem does sound about the same as what I experienced, also on
x86_64, mine was an nVidia chipset DFI Lanparty board.

My box was also up 24hrs being a mailserver. I replaced it with an
embedded ARM board that draws 1.5W and a USB flash pen. I wrote an
article about it here: http://warmcat.com/_wp/?p=5 But of course it
just does my mail, not 1000 users.

Sorry I don't have any answers, I dropped that machine after the second
drive was killed and it is sitting in the corner looking lonely. But
then I would think more people would be hitting this problem if it was
simply a driver issue. Maybe it requires extended uptimes on the box in
addition?
