How many medium errors are considered safe before I need to start looking for replacement?

One drive has 3 medium errors and the other has 5. I mean would hundreds be something to worry about? Or is it real serious?

I know that enterprise hard drives will have medium errors. Its bound to happen especially spinning at 15K RPM 24-7.

This was reported from Adaptec Storage manager using an 5805 with BBU attached.
 
I'd worry if there were hundreds, or if dozens appeared suddenly, but a few on each drive is nothing to worry about.
