I have two MD3000i arrays that seem to be experiencing slot failures. The symptom starts as a disk showing impending failure in one specific slot. Normal replacement with a new disk works fine, but during the copyback process, the new disk starts to show impending, or actual failure. These same "failing" disks work fine in any other slot. In one array, the failing slot is #3, in the other it is #6. Any ideas what might be the cause of this? Could it simply be a dirty connector?
