Yes, I suspect the drive is faulty - - that can and does happen even with new ones.

Contact the drive manufacturer for replacement under warranty. They may ask you to test the drive first with diagnostic software like SeaTools or WD DL Diagnostic depending on the make of the drive.

WD DL Diagnostic for DOD: http://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=2

If there's nothing wrong with the drive, then it may be faulty RAM instead, so test that too with Memtest86 Free Edition: http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm
