>From this smartctl report, (running smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda) it
looks like the drive is not having any errors.  I am leaning towards a
driver or power issue.  I have moved the hard drive to a machine with
identical hardware and it has been up for one day at this point.  I have
run Memtest86 on the old machine for 24 hours and it has passed 28 times
with flying colors.

Let me add that the word "fail" will always appear in the TYPE column in
the report.  Look at the "WHEN FAILED" column; if that is clear then the
disk hasn't failed yet.  See `man smartctl` about this and /don't
panic/.
