Unfortunately, no. Drive makers set thresholds for some events. The 
number can be different from model to model, but lets say they allow 10 
bad sectors before SMART shows warnings. Well, any bad sectors means you 
probably have damaged files.

You should read the relocated sector count, pending sector count, and 
reallocation count. They should all be 0 (zero)

Laptop hdds also have a counter that shows how many g forces the drive 
has experienced, if its been dropped in other words.
