Might want to check the power supply as well. Bad/flakey power can indeed case damage to the drive surface; been there, done that, have two Maxtor 250GB drives with scribbled servo data to prove it.
OK.
I'm running the server from an APC UPS Back-UPS 650, so there should not be any glitches in the power supply, should there?
Lamar was probably talking about the machine's *own* power supply. The one inside the computer case. When they start to fail they can produce incorrect DC voltages and then you can get all kinds of weird failures.
