Bad sectors should be evident in Smart tools. It might be good idea to
check it to prove/dis-proof disk issues.

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

I've run a few other smartctl options. I don't really know what I should specifically be looking for. One of the results said

Offline data collection status:  (0x00) Offline data collection activity
                    was never started.
                    Auto Offline Data Collection: Disabled.
Self-test execution status:      (   0)    The previous self-test routine completed
                    without error or no self-test has ever
                    been run.

Is there something I should be running?
