My weekly zpool scrub came back with this:

  pool: blackhole
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors.
    Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a
    degraded state.
action: Replace the faulted device, or use 'zpool clear' to mark the device
    repaired.

I only got the drive 6 months ago, well within WD’s 3 year warranty so I opened a support case, but do errors like this basically always mean the drive is its way out or is it possible to have false positives?

    I had the same problem months ago and I simply did clear and scrub. Never occurred again even if I noticed that the drive that failed is slower then the others (average access time is the double). I’ll change it in a couple of months, hoping it lasts until then
