Predicted Drive Failures

We've been experiencing a number of predicted disk failures on our Compellent SAN.  We are on version 5.5.3.  We've been having these predicted disk failures occur about every 2-3 weeks over the past couple of months.  Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

    None here. Are you operating your disks in a very hot environment?

    Also Compellent has been getting people onto 5.5.10 (for non-series 40 controllers) in a hurry recently. We got a call regarding some critical disk firmware update that I believe prevented early failures

    Our datacenter isn't in a hot environment.  We are on the series 40 controllers. I see that version 5.5.6 is available for us.  We have a CoPilot technician looking into this further, with the number of predicted failures we've seen. Maybe they will suggest upgrading to this code.
