Persistent 'Failure predicted' error after drive replacement

Question

We have a PowerEdge T320 with a 3-disk RAID 5 array attached to a PERC H310 adapter. The amber light on one of the disks started flashing and OpenMange said that there was a 'non-critical' error with 'Failure predicted' showing Yes. I took the disk offline, swapped it out , and let the array rebuild, and the error persists. So I did it again, with another new disk, with the same result. Ideas? Something obvious I'm missing?

We updated a bunch of firmware, drivers, bios and the predictive failure error is cleared.

FYI, a Consistency Check is currently running on the array.

...and the predicted failure persists after the check is complete.

The problem is PD02 on VD01. The server has been rebooted. Why would replacing the drive for a THIRD time be a good idea?

We will have to schedule some downtime.
