I was merely interested.
Recently I had a RAID-1 device get marked as bad, but I couldn't see
any SMART errors. So I failed, removed, and then re-added the device.
It worked for about a week, then it failed again, but time the SMART
errors were obvious.
I'd ordered a new drive at the first failure, so I was ready when it
failed the second time.
I guess the point is that I've seen "bad" drives go "good" again, at
least for short periods of time.
