It makes me wonder if the drives are "sensitive" to something. This seems to be common with Maxtor. Is Hitachi made by the same company as Maxtor I wonder? I have been getting these errors for some time now. They pass the tests tho. You can run that with this: smartctl -t long /dev/hdX The X should be replaced with the correct drive or you may have to use sdX if you have SATA drives. After it gets done, which may take a while, you can get the results like this: smartctl -l selftest /dev/hdX. Replace the X again. Hope you get a good report. Mine passed. Dale :-) :-) :-)
