Negative. Just dropped it from the array. Probably buy another one when
I get my next pay-check. Although, to be honest, I'm a bit miffed since
the last two drives I've bought now have both failed (one WD, one
Seagate) within two months of purchase. Not sure what brand to buy this
time.

The Seagate drive filled up with bad sectors, and the WD drive kept
having screwy i/o errors that ruined my file system. Thought it might
have been a bad SATA controller... however, one other WD drive I have in
there never seems to have any trouble, regardless of which controller I
cable it to.

So I'm running on a broken RAID1 array and remote rsync backups until I
decide what to do.
