We have a 2006 Sun X4500 with Hitachi 500G disk drives. Its been running for over

and we have no hardware support on it.
Well - had the same thing here (X4500, Q1 2007) 2-3 times couple of
month ago. The 'too many errors' msg ringed some bells: do you remember
the race condition problems in the marvell driver (IIRC especially late
u3, u4) which caused many 'bad ...' errors in the logs? So I simply
checked the drive in question (Q&D 2xdd over the whole disk and checked,
whether an error occured). Since not a single error or bad performance
I put it back and no wonder, it is still working ;-) ).
This backs up my experiences with x4500s.
I have had several drives "fail" which I have taken off line and
thrashed with format for a couple of days without finding any errors.
Out of 9 or 10 "failures" only one was FUBAR.
