The drive hides the retries by default. It is possible to query the drive for the soft error count. That's were you see the incredible redundancy of this design.
Hey, do you know how to do this query with FreeBSD? We've got loads of Exabyte drives around here and some are now on FreeBSD boxes. Our Solaris boxes let us know, real polite like, when the Exabytes are dirty. The FreeBSD boxes are writing blind. If you don't clean your Exabytes when they want to be, your backups (and drive life, I believe) suffer.
Oh, and the only disk drive I recommend to anybody at the moment is the IBM DCAS-34330UW, 4.3GB, quiet, cool running, fast enough for everything I want, never heard of a failure. A bargain. I use a few at home.
Stephen.
