I purchased a WD 750GB HDD 35 days ago and tested it thoroughly before trusting it. I completely filled the drive with data, erased it then ran burnintest for 6 days straight at a speed of 3MB/s. All this time diskcheckup was running and no change in the smart values. Yesterday the write error & reallocated sector counts started going up. This morning my PSU died and I replaced it with a lower wattage one I had lying around. Today those values have grown exponentially.
So do I need to go though the long process of a factory RMA immediately or has a failing psu and possible underpowered psu caused a minor damage with a high error rate?

Addition, I have been heavily accessing this drive in the last 2 days to recover a clients raid0 stripe so it has had several periods of several hour long full load.
