We use a lot of caddies here in raid towers. Usually when a disk is getting corrupted I check/replace the cables to the caddy first, then I possibly tune down speed of the SCSI bus to see how that affects it. The biggest problem with caddies we have is when the fan fails on one, since that is annoying to fix. For the use you have, you might consider getting one of the bays that accepts raw hard drives. A last consideration might be making sure that you are gentle with the hard drive until it you are sure it has stopped spinning.
