Hmm. ICRC errors are about the controller talking to the disk
electronics. They don't generally have anything to do with the
magnetic medium itself.
Try replacing the cable.
The only time I've seen ICRC errors was when FreeBSD was programming
UDMA100 mode when I only had a UDMA33 cable installed. Overridding
the mode using atacontrol solved it, as did installing a UDMA66
cable.
I've seen the issue quit often in cheap, or long, UDMA100 cables as
well.
i haven't tried changing the cable, but it is just a standard sata cable,
those about a foot long.
it is doing ok right now but still would like to do some checks on it. See,
the biggest problem was actually caused by S.M.A.R.T that day i posted,
which i had enabled the day before and forgot about. The whole computer was
acting up when accessing disks and i saw the error more frequent till it
actually caused a panic, hard rebooted, and vanished from the bios listing.
When i pulled it out it seemed somewhat overheated.
the thing is though, i never had S.M.A.R.T enabled before and still saw the
error sometimes; and pretty sure it depended on the install - either i see
it often, or not at all on this particular disk.
anyway, thanks all for the input
