I wonder if the IO errors is due to temperature differences between the drive's
current installation and the temperature of the quality assurance testing that
was done before the drive left the plant.
I always run the drives for a few days before reformatting. That way, the
oxide on the disk and clearances between head and platter have settled in, as
well as the drive electronics making accommodations for signal levels.
