We have recently added 20 servers to our little farm, 7 of which were

The fact is that this failures are coming up right after we decided to
move to reiserfs.

Can 7 out of 20 hard drives be defective (yes, of course, but what is
the % probability for this)?
Can this anyhow be related with reiserfs?


You need to provide the actual error messages you got when the drive
played up, and preferably the smart data. Without that it is guesswork.

However multiple failures does happen, it can be environmental, could be
a bad batch of disks, could be the box of disks that the courier dropped
etc

Pablo,

Check the serial numbers of the failing drives. If they are close than maybe it was a bad batch or as Alan stated mishandled somewhere along the line. Seagate probably has a utility to analyze the drive and probably would require you to run it prior to getting a RMA. Western Digital does.
