replacing hard disk

I have a server running sql 2000. We recently had to replace a failed drive
on a raid 5 array. Subsequent to changing it, the performance of the server
has declined considerably and blocking locks are occuring, which we never had
experienced before on this server. There are no errors reported for the new
disk.
I'm now trying to work out what could be the problem and how in fact to
correct it. Will running specific maintenance jobs correct the problem? Like
UPDATE STATISTICS?
Thanks!Hi
Has the array rebuilt?
The fact that performance is perceived to be worse, look at a hardware
problem, not at a SQL one.

reported with a status of ok.

For instance replacing a 72Gb 15,000RPM disk with a 72Gb 10,000RPM disk
would cause the entire array to drop back to 10,000RPM
