I had a 1.5TB SATA drive pop up an error in Fedora 13 the other day; SMART had detected large numbers of bad (but remapped) sectors (53, to be exact), and Fedora 13 at least will warn you in GNOME when that is the case. Hopefully RHEL6 will include some of the tools that F13 has in palimpsest, as the ability to run the short and long self tests in an easy fashion is down right cool.
I ran the manufacturer's utility, but it gave the drive a clean bill of health, and thus I couldn't get an RMA, even though the drive is in warranty.
