Thanks for the recommendation for the home server smart plug-in- on of my 1.5 TB drives had 2 bad sectors so I am replacing it.

I first removed the 1 1tb drive, then dropped in a new 2tb drive, I am now in the process of removing the 1.5 drive, and will replace with the 2nd new 2 tb.

Not sure what to do with the 1.5 that is reporting bad sectors.

Looks like I will have the mediacsonic with a 1tb, 1 750 and 2 500, depending on what I want to do about the 1.5.

Personally I would not be over concerned about 2 bad sectors but then drives are cheap and can easily be replaced and it does come down to your comfort level. One thing you could do with the drive that your concerned with is install it on a computer you do say rippling for music and movies and have the rips go to that drive then when your happy with the ripps then copy the files to your server and then delete them to make room for more ripping. Basically use it as a temporary holding area for files. Doing this keeps your primary drives from becomming fragmented.
