Hi,
	Thanks for the response.  The drive had been running fine for almost a
year as well until those errors.  The server is relativly busy pushing out
40K of email a day as well as user web pages.  I still have the drive, but
its not being used in the server as I put our 'cold' spare in until I can
sort out what we will do for a better overall plan with RAID in a month or
so.  When that happens, I will try and get a better look at the drive and
perhaps upgrade its firmware and reformat etc.

	---Mike
