I am having the same problem with 2 x 500GB Seagate drives. I am in the process of installing 3 machines, each using 2 drives with software raid 1. Interestingly, the raid work first time on the machines with 1TB and 250GB drives, but not on the 500GB drives. After reading this post, i see the majority of people are having problemswith 500GB drives and Imre Gergely wrote on 2010-04-27 #20 that 750GB and his 250GB drives worked fine.

So i took the 500GB drives out of the server and put 2 x 250GB drives in to test .... it worked first time.
Anybody care to explain why this bugs seems limited to 500GB drives ...
