There seems to be - but I can't state this as fact - a problem with some La Cie Big Discs where the power supply is marginal and this causes intermittent problems
IMHO the failure is related to the current draw, not the RAID 0 but, of course, as RAID 0 Big Discs draw more current (because they have more than one drive) they are more likely to provoke this fault
I've seen this on a number of occasions and the result is always disastrous, not least because it appears to be impossible to fault-find. A typical PSU-related fault, then
If you replace the PSUs you may get better results. Personally I'd steer well clear
