The zpool man page says:
     The health of the top-level vdev, such as  mirror  or  raidz
     device,  is potentially impacted by the state of its associ-
     ated vdevs, or component devices. A top-level vdev  or  com-
     ponent device is in one of the following states:

     DEGRADED    One or more top-level vdevs is in  the  degraded
                 state  because one or more component devices are
                 offline. Sufficient replicas exist  to  continue
                 functioning.

                 One or more component devices is in the degraded
                 or  faulted state, but sufficient replicas exist
                 to continue functioning. The  underlying  condi-
                 tions are as follows:

                     o    The number of checksum  errors  exceeds
                          acceptable  levels  and  the  device is
                          degraded as an  indication  that  some-
                          thing  may  be  wrong. ZFS continues to
                          use the device as necessary.

                     o    The  number  of  I/O   errors   exceeds
                          acceptable levels. The device could not
                          be marked as faulted because there  are
                          insufficient replicas to continue func-
                          tioning.

You should take this into consideration as you decide whether
to replace disks or not.
