to be clear I wasn't saying Smart is useless just that smartctl doesn't always tell you every thing so you shouldn't rely as a definitive answer on all issues on all disks. As for raid controllers well that's a very long conversation there are good reasons the enterprise ones do not, at least not

restart the system in single user mode, make sure the volume is mounted as read only and check it with fdisk. fdisk has flags that will do a badblocks scan. smart is predictive and doesn't catch all errors its also not compatible with all disks and controllers especially raid capable controllers.
