One thing to bear in mind, is that drives have spare sectors, which get

There was nothing wrong with the drive. There was something in SMART
that was wrong. I've seen SMART say that a brand new drive is failing.
SMART is nothing like the engine light on a car.

Or perhaps they are like SMART. I'm not sure which came first.
