After replacing 200 to 300 IBM/Hitachi drives and also using the drive
fitness tools to test these drives, I would say the tests do not test
the drive very well. Most of the drives could pass the tests, but fail
in operation anyway. The way that I would test the drive is to listen
for noises on powerup or disk activity.
I do believe that Hitachi did release some firmware for the drives later
for drive problems. I am not sure the firmware upgrade resolved the
failures or not.
You might try a different drive type to see if the problem is related to
the disk or other factors.
