aborted--heard clicking from drives at that time, can't swear it was

Not sure I fully understand the nuances of this report. If anything
jumps out at you, I'd appreciate a tip on how you read it. (to me,
looks mostly healthy)
For what it's worth, if you are getting hung tests, either your drive
or power supply should be redeployed as a paperweight. My opinion...
I don't disagree but I'd like to find something more concrete or
repeatable, especially given that these give an audible click when
failing. The problem I'm having is that I can't nail down precisely
where the problem is, although your suggestion makes a lot of sense.
Well, here's thought if you are inclined... power up and go into BIOS
config mode. That will leave the drives powered but not in use. Now pull
the power cable out on one of them. Does the drive make a familiar click
as the heads do an emergency park? That's the easiest thing to check
which might cause the click. One thing your SMART doesn't include is
Temp, which might or might now tell you anything. You could try hddtemp,
but SMART would probably report it if the sensor was there.
After running Justin's suggested badblocks test, I'm kind-of-disturbed
to see that all these drives are passing with flying colors.
Firmware issue? WD had it in the past.
Certainly you could check for newer firmware, and to see if all drives
have the same level.
