What sort of error? A new disk *may* be overkill ...

It's a smart error, saying the sector at LBA can't be read, during the
scheduled long smart test.

Then look at the smartd output and ask yourself "do I really need a new
disk?". I wouldn't send the new one back. Depending on how well you are
off for disk space and SATA ports, now you've got the new disk, if the
old one is still good I'd go for a 3-disk raid-5 plus spare. That's my
current setup.

A new (better) disk, an SSD, would cost 150 euros. Better safe than
sorry, so usually I change disks
as soon as I get a read error. (also, this disk is around 50k hours.....)
