My disk eventually failed a month or so ago. Whether it had already started to fail 7 months ago, I have no way of knowing. One would hope that if a disk was reading poorly enough to hang that often that it would have pushed it over one of the SMART thresholds. I think I'd run several SMART tests on it over that first month that I had the issue and never had a failure.
