Yes it is a Refurb disk.  That's an interesting number of failure in an
iSeries 400 environment.  I have only seen 1 failed disk since I stated on
400 in 1990 and it was mid 2002.

There was a major discussion on this list about 2-3 years ago about the new
(at that time) 10k drives. There were major QA problems. I don't believe
they were not actually manufactured by IBM. I had two of them fail within
two days. Fortunately they were not both in the same parity set. Up to that
time, I had never had a problem with IBM disk failures either.
