Well the right place to look would indeed have been the SMART data providing the drive didn't get into a state it couldn't update it. Hardware error comes from the drive deciding something is wrong (or a raid card faking it I guess). That covers everything from power fluctuations and overheating through firmware consistency failures and more. If you pull the drive and test it in another box does it show the same ? And what does a scsi verify have to say ?
