35000 power-on hours. SMART still reports it as OK.

Time to figure out how to rebuild a RAID 5 array. The other two drives are probably nearly cooked too, but I have plenty of spares that I got for free.

You're probably already working on replacing it, but SMART returning "okay" doesn't rule out a failing disk. What you want to look for on SMART tests are the RAW value of reallocated sectors. Anything over 0 is a bad sign.

    Also check temperature, if the noisy boy is also hotter then it's neighbors.... That's a strong indicator
