No bad sectors. At least, not that the drive controller knows about.
You might try "smartctl -t offline $DEVICE_NODE" to have the drive run
a self-test. Don't let "offline" fool you; you can still do other
things, the test will just be suspended during disk activity, and
resume when disk activity dies down.
I have ran that at least a couple times. It passed each time. I
actually run that every couple months or so anyway. From what I have
read, it does sometimes warn of a problems in time to take action. It
may not help if it is a bearing failure or some other mechanical failure
but some warning is better than none.
At least I know it is living at the moment. I just hope it stays that way.
