I replaced the drive in the running machine this weekend, and put it in a test machine. Then I ran IBM/Hitachi's DFT software, it passed the advanced test with flying colors (again). So I decided to try the "excersise" functioanlity (which is a bit hidden in thier menu). It failed this test within 5 minutes. So I'ts on it's way to be replaced under waranty.
