As to bad sectors = failing drive that's not nearly accurate if it's the
first few failing and lots of spares available. In fact one don't think a
vendor will give you an rma for that either. All drives have bad sectors,
remember the old days of entering them manually on a new drive? Now they do
that at manufacturing and allow for a few more as normal.
Western Digital happily RMAs all drives showing bad sectors.
