Ive been actually repairing computers for the last 20 years, and I mean 
literally thousands of computers, and I stand by my statement. If SMART 
reports any number of reallocated sectors, or pending sectors, or a 
couple other errors I track, the drive has to be replaced. Anything else 
is voodoo.
