Count not zero.  Time to replace the disk.


Ouch! And more than just a handful.



As for moving data off, the crucial partitions are part of a RAID, so
the data are already duplicated elsewhere.

Be aware that a lot of newer large disks (1T or more) no longer do error correction and aren't suitable for RAID. (WD Black, I'm looking at you.)



And its main function nowadays is to be the disk I boot from.


If your RAID is on partitions instead of whole disk, you should be able to boot from any disk. If possible, install grub to another or all of the disks (as grub recommends).

If that fails, I think you could boot from live media and fix it.


Not sure what else would cause the input/output error you got. Bad cable
maybe?

I don't know either.  But I have a vague memory of problems like this
once before when I did not have time or energy to investigate properly.

That's ok. Let it retire in dignity, before it starts clicking and sputtering.
