You can still do a scrub with a critical array by the way, but it will only do something for filesystems with checksumming turned on. Doing it before a grow operation without a failed drive is certainly a good idea.

With a failed drive it won't do you much good, but if expansion is the reason, I've do a scrub before swapping the first drive. But then again... I'm paranoid...

You don't mention what kind of power supply your system is running. Try testing it with a different power supply, or underclock the CPU heavily, and see if that helps.
