I was having problems like that for a while. Then I finally discovered
that disks formatted/written to in one drive would
have more troubles in the other drive. After a couple of
month of this, my external drive would nearly always destroy any
disk it wrote to. My friendly repair man said it wasn't worth fixing.
I hope you have better luck than I did.
