Duo: second disk Smart errors after a month

Looking for some advice. Have had Duo for several years with no problem. Drives were 2 x Seagate ST32000542AS. A few months ago Disk 2 showed rapidly increasing Smart errors (Reallocated sectors increasing by 50 a day). Seagate sent a ST2000DL001-9VT156 as a warranty replacement. Now the replacement is showing the same problem.
Question: Is this likely a Duo problem, or just bad luck with the replacement drive? Thanks.

    If it is reallocated sectors, it would have to be the drive. You can confirm this by connecting the drive to a PC and using another tool to look at the SMART stats (acronis drive monitor is one possibility).
