Is that 24/7/365? 3 years is 26,280 hours. In days of yore, good disks used to be rated for 50-100K hours, but I suspect in the last few years the design life has gone down with the prices. In 3 years, price cut in half, capacity doubled, speed doubled (or at least increased a lot). Getting to where you just treat disks like tires on your car and replace them as needed....must be 2-3 years old...i think about changing the disk in this case...
That's too bad. That's a young disk in my view of things. I have a 9Gig scsi disk that has been going since Redhat 6.2.
Good luck.
