One more thing you might want to check/replace... the ribbon cables. I've had some in the past that with a slight bump would make the data on the drive APEAR corrupt even though the corruption was in the data transfer not the drive. Then when I'd try to fsck it... ooops. Since then if it's mission critical I've found that light twisting and pulling (Note I said light) to check connection quality has saved me a ton of headaches. Did you change cables when you changed drives? A good way to check if you can is when a drive seems to be bad, pop it in another box and see what happens. Many a time it's tested good on another box and my problems were cables first ram second.
