Really? I see them pretty frequently... Let's see server1, RAID6 (4 disks), reallocated_sector_ct: 0 9 1 0 server2, RAID5 (4 disks), reallocated_sector_ct: 0 0 0 0 server3, RAID6 (5 disks), reallocated_sector_ct: 34 754 15 115 1 server4, RAID5 (4 disks), reallocated_sector_ct: 0 0 0 0 server5, RAID5 (4 disks), reallocated_sector_ct: 0 0 0 0 Disk 2 in server3 (which has drives which are a bit long in the tooth) is scheduled to be replaced next time I visit that site.
