Exactly.

Right. Mechanical failures are probably not easy to predict, and can happen at
any time without warning. And smart cant record or report if the electronics
blow up.
Reallocated sectors are a hard drive's way of failing gracefully. If you catch
it in time, you might be able to save your files.
Mechanical failure is not so graceful...
