Check the RAID controller logs. It isn't going to give you a nice neat message that the reason the storage is unreliable is because you are using non-validated drives - it expects you to use validated drives. If you don't, it will note that in the logs, but the logs *may* give you some indication of what the drives are doing or what the problem is.

What make/model are the drives? You likely are using incompatible drives or bad drives.
I'd recommend against RAID 5.
