RAW Read Errors, help!

This post did not exactly give the answer needed.
It will more than likely keep the same SMART data, even though you format it (low level or what); unless, you have some app that will wipe the SMART data.
When you tested it in the other system, did the Raw Read Errors, Pending Sector Count or any other errors increase?

If the error counts still increase in the other system, then , definitely RMA it.
It is, probably, partly bad luck and partly... sloppy quality control, in that case.
If you do RMA that drive again, ask them to test the replacement before sending it.

However, if, the drive does not garner more errors, then you may need to looks else where for a problem.

EDIT:
Just a couple of questions. Have you done a test on your other drive in the first system (not the miniITX)? Is it showing any errors?

Already did. Putting it into my miniITX build with Asrock Z68 mobo. I use WD Data Lifeguard to low format it before testing and it is still showing pending sectors and high Raw Read Error Rate.

It is not the SATA controller, it is the HDD itself

Yep, some had problems with them, some were fixed with a firmware update, some bricked from a bad update was distributed out; but, they fixed the update later I believe and some were fixed through the RMA process.

I have been lucky, I guess, I have used Seagate, WD, Samsung, Hitachi, and others; however, the only drive I have had that actually died... I dropped.

If your raw read errors are continuing to increase... then, you have a problem somewhere.
Whether it is hardware, drivers, or some kind of conflict... it is there.
