the hard drive is dead ( dreaded click of ***** syndrome ) you can have that verified at a computer repair shop and if that is the case use a solid state hard drive as a replacement and not the spinning disc type as for the data you have stored , there are places than can recover it from the dead hard drive but unless you have it all backed up on an external hard drive or storage device then it is lost

The first thing I would do is during POST Press hit <ctrl + A>for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! When you get in to the utility you can verify that the bus is set to 320 (it should be). since the drives you have are capable of that speed you should be running at 320. You should also make sure you have the latest firmware applied. Also keep in mind, the type of data you are reading and writting to the disks will greately influance the throughput. for example if you are streaming video to the disks you will get very high throughput numbers but if you are using the disks for a database or lots of small files your throughput will drop extreamly quickly because the drives have to do physical IO activity and that just takes time. so my point is depending on what you are doing with this system and the fact you only have 3 drives might make it a moot point. this is a link to the manual for that adapter. hope this helps http://download.adaptec.com/pdfs/installation_guides/scsi_installation_and_user_guide_02_07.pdf

Any "Parity Error" is from a communication error on the SCSI bus, and it's bad! Errors are a way of life, and the SCSI transceiver has failsafes to fight them, and one of these is parity. Consider it extra data that the controller sends when you transfer data to your hard disks. Once there, the drives transceiver does a simple ccheck and verifies that the parity is correct. If not, a Parity Error is generated. 99% of the problems surround the SCSI bus itself in the form of a damaged SCSI cable, loose terminator, or a bent pin on a SCSI connector (latter being most common). This error is more apparent after moving the SCSI devices, resulting in unplugging and then replugging the cables back onto the Targets (HDD, CD/DVD ROM, printer, etc.) or back onto the Host Bus Adapter (HBA - the 29320 in your case). Check ALL pins. You can try to straighten the pins, otherwise it's time to replace the cable. REMEMBER that terminators are a must and can also cause Parity Errors if there is no termination present on one end of the bus or the other.This coming from an ex-Adaptec employee and support person! :)Best of luck

First thing to do is to check the cable connection & make sure it is OK.
Also check if the cable is not defective.
Next, if you don't have internal SCSI drives/devices installed & being used, make sure that the SCSI card is also terminated.
