Ted, sorry for the late delay in getting back to this. The drive was just swapped out as a hot replacement as it was the same size and I did not bother with the compaq ACU. after the rebuild, I still had the same errors and figured one more shot at a different drive just to see what would happen. after rebuilding and rebooting, all the soft errors went away and things are good now :) I suspect that the original errors with the first replacement were due to the rebuilding process as they still occured during the last hot-swap rebuilding phase. the first replacement drive spit out the errors after rebuilding, and I have verified as bad since I have since built other array configs with it on identical machines and it still shows the same errors. the second replacement has been working flawlessly since installation as I said with no soft errors. Thanks for your help.
