Just watch that disk like a hawk. I had two disks fail recently in the same way, I did exactly what 
you did and 2 days later they both started to grow defects again and got kicked out of the array. I 
RMA'd both of them last week as they would not stay stable for more than a day or two after 
re-allocation.
