When I first learned all this (the hard way) with Seagate drives, 120 seconds was enough. You'll find that in old archives, 2011-ish. I don't remember who, but someone had a drive that took longer and suggested 180 seconds. > Or would you say in general it's not worth the effort of trying to > find out? Not worth the effort. It's a work-around for unsuitable devices until such time as you can retire them. > Would you expect this behavior to be any different for an SSD? I'd expect an SSD's worst case error recovery to be much shorter -- there's no positioning to wait for, nor any mechanical effects that'll make retrys meaningful.
