This is both my backup drive and where my repos are located.  So given
this is the time of the 'big sales' is this drive failing and it is time
to buy a replacement?

Poma,

You post all these seemingly great things to install, but not why to install them.

Is this a better driver for USB devices? Does it give better reporting to know what the condition of the drive is?

Is the drive even failing or is the current driver reporting too much already? That these are really fairly normal errors that are handled by the drive.
