Thanks, sounds like it should handle all but the

Are you sure about this? I thought these consumer level drives
would try indefinitely to carry out its operation. Even Samsung's
white paper on CCTL RAID error recovery says it could take a minute
or longer (see "Desktop Unsuccessful Error Recovery" diagram)

Depends very much on the firmware and the error type. Each vendor
will have their own trade-secret approaches to solving this issue
based on their own failure rates and expected usages.
