Seek error

Story time

Server froze up and when it restarted of course a parity check started. It was going really slow and then I started to get seek errors. Being a responsible unraid owner I purchased a new drive to replace the failing drive. I got the new drive in today. It replaced a vertical sata drive for a SAS drive in my disk shelve. Started the rebuild process, but it was going slow too and then I started getting seek errors on another drive that was vertical also. I relocated this 2nd drive to a horizontal slot and the seek errors went away. I know that according to Google that the orientation does not effect the drive. 

 

Would this a situation of a drive going bad, a connection that's bad, or something else. My drives are in rosewell hotswap bays
