I am planning to replace all the defective drives, but first i need to 
rebuild the missing part.
I don't care about wich is the problem, the first drive have 123 unredable 
sectors, and i have tried to rewrite one but not works.
This will goes to RMA, but first i need to solve the problem.

But the drive have some offline unc sectors and some pendings.

Exactly.
This is why i ask here. :-)
Because i don't want to make some KB errors on the array wich have all the 
needed information.

Any good idea?
