RAID-1 failing, is my brand new disk BAD??
 
I setup a nice RAID-1 this afternoon. I get home thinking all my arrays will be synced perfectly. Howoever one partition is failing rebuild (/home), over and over again. Is my hdd bad already?

This is a brand new box, brand new install, with 2 brand new Samsung HD501LJ (rated highest on newegg!)

I happen to have 1 more disk that I was gonna put in a USB enclosure. Depending on what people say here, I may pop it in just to see if sdb is really going bad.

This is a Dell PowerEdge box with an onboard ICH7 controller.

Do you know smartctl?

Suggest reading its "F:)M" & trying some of its tests. BTW, the man page in Q, is "too long" rather than the "too short kind", so more than 1 reading may be necessary.
