Yup. Seen that. Consider replacing the power supply. Consider a $70 to 
$100 PS is cheap compared to your HD's and the aggravation.

Am guessing both bad HD's were purchased at the same time from the same
vendor and put into service at the same time? Then its possible you
simply got a bad batch. 

OTOH I've seen a professional factory-authorized repairperson replace
the entire guts of a computer trying to fix a problem, until the last
thing left was the PS. New PS fixed it. Its been running perfectly the
past year.
