You have an inverse understanding of ERC.  Drives without ERC will retry
forever, or until an upper layer puts a stop to its efforts.  Drives
with a 7 second ERC will return a hard error after 7 seconds.

So the only way you'll get a timeout with your rebuild is if the healthy
drive spends 30 seconds retying a sector read.
