Thanks for your response.

Perhaps the Seek_Error_Rate isn't what's wrong, but something's 
definitely wrong. The read performance on these disks is _extremely_ 
poor. I've decided to go ahead with the replacement, and the first of 
the resyncs is progressing at an erratic rate, anywhere between 30MB/s 
and 17kB/s. At this rate it'll take 24h.
