In general, it's not worth mucking about with disks that show
inexplicable errors. Inability to read or write a block is a disk
failure, and IMHO means back it up and replace it. 

As to reliability, you can always get a dud, even though disk
technology, spinning or otherwise, is generally very, very good.
Replace it and move on.

If you really hammer a disk, regardless of technology, you hasten its
end. If you run them too hot, the same.
