I did vinum start vinum0.p1 and everything went as good as expected.

Yesterday I got it once more:

I'm doing vinum start right now and I'm quite sure it will work ok.
However, I'm a little worried: can my disk be broken?
It's pretty new and still under warranty, so I'd like to change it before anything breaks badly, *if it is*.
Can I possibly blame the controller (it's a Tekram DC-390U2W)? Wouldn't it be strange, since it's always the same HD
(out of 4) that shows this problem?

Any diagnostic tool I can use?

 bye & Thanks
