I wouldn't think about it too long. Today's disks have their
internal remapping without anyone outside noticing. Once you see
errors outside (i.e. in your OS) internal capacity for recovery
is *exhausted*. Your disk is damaged beyond acceptable limits
once you start _noticing_ problems! Take these messages

data ...
