Hi Tejun,

thanks for picking this issue up.

Here's the last smart report from two of the offending drives. As noted 
before, I did the hardware reorganization, replaced the dog slow 3ware 
9500S-8 and the SiI 3124 with a single Areca 1130 and retired the drives 
for now, but a nephew already showed interest. What do you think, can I 
cede those drives with a clear conscience? The Hardware_ECC_Recovered
values are really worrisome, aren't they?
