Answer 1

It is impossible to predict disk death. For the 3rd year, under the torrents, there is a dead (according to all the checkers) 250 GB disk. A brand new 750GB disk died after a few months for no apparent reason, being empty, stuck in a RAID in a hot-spare.
Back up important information, if the system is expensive, keep it on raid1. And do not think about such nonsense.

Answer 2

PS: They are right about scanning with mhdd.

Answer 8

I would drive mhdd out of this screw with the erase command and also drive it out with the HDD Regenerator utility, and then I would re-check the mhdd scan of the surface, and only after that I would decide what to do with the screw
