Anyone have a measure of how often these events actually do occur?

What little I've seen people say of how they design file and RAID
systems speaks as if HDD's reliably chose either to read back what you
wrote to them or else reported an error.

What about when the HDD actually reads back something else?

How can we know how commonly that occurs in practice, so that we can
know how often we're wrong to believe such things as our locally
recorded vector time?
