First thing I do with a new hard drive is run a long self-test using smartctl. If it passes it gets added to the system. I have smartd set to do a daily short self-test and a weekly long self-test on every drive. Replace any drives that start to show errors.
The self-tests take the drive offline while they run, right? Do you unmount them first, or is the system okay just waiting until the drive responds?
