Are the error messages showing the same physical block?

And moving the drive does nothing, so far as the system knows. Did you use
mdadm to remove the old /dev/sda, before physically removing the drive? If
so, that's rather worrisome, and I'd put the drive back in its original
drive bay, and see if you still get errors.
