No..

What's that?

Only symptoms is that the console got filled with stuff like:

[ 2490.288981] ata6.00: status: { DRDY DF ERR }
[ 2490.288982] ata6.00: error: { ABRT }

0x1 (device error)
[ 2490.297418] ata6.00: status: { DRDY DF ERR }


And the drive gets removed from my RAID array.

Earlier today I got smart emailing me "Device: /dev/sdf, 5 Currently
unreadable (pending) sectors"

Then just before md choked on the drive I got a "FailedReadSmartData:
Device: /dev/sdf, failed to read SMART Attribute Data"

I removed the drive and plugged it back ; it worked again for another
10 minutes then it all restarted again..

Hopefully I can swap it tomorrow where I bought it from; but no doubt
they are going to just ditch me to WD..
