Im currently building my Adaptec 5805 with RAID 5 on 8xWD 2TB RE4 disks on linux. I have previously had it running in RAID 5 on 6x2TB.. but I had to rebuild the whole array because of a bad striping report.

Suddenly Adaptec StorMan is starting to report 10-15 of thoes in the last 1-2 hours (from the same physical drive):

07 October 2011 22:43:07 CEST INF laffy Sense data: Medium error (UNRECOVERED READ ERROR). Controller 1, channel 0, SCSI device ID 3, LUN 0, cdb [28 00 27 9a 6b 00 00 01 00 00 00 00], data [70 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]

However when I check the smart data on the disk using smartctl I got the following:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 0

200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x0008 200 200 000 Old_age Offline - 0

Current_Pending_Sector has been on the value 4 but was reduced to 2 (im running a smartctl -t offline on the disk as well).

Should I be very worried? like shutting down the server, put the harddrive into my desktop and check with WD diagnostic tool? Or should I be okay as long smart dosent report increasing Current_Pending_Sector / Offline_Uncorrectable?
