I have a fairly new SATA disk with about 3000 hours of 24/7 duty
(very light load), 0 remapped sectors and 8 consecutive sectors with
read/write errors. Still, it did not perform remapping facing heavy
writes on the bad sectors. Now what? For whatever reason, remapping
not always works (or mine was produced with a total of zero
remapping sectors…).
