Eric, is it true what we tell users, that if a drive can't remap a bad block it has probably used up all its spares, and that in turn means that it is wise to buy a new one because the chance of experiencing additional data corruption on a drive that has used up all its spares is much higher than the average drive?
What are the common sources of data corruption, is one of them that the drive head starts bumping the media more and more often because a bearing (or something) has started to show signs of wear?
