I'd say you are overly cautious on this. Yes there are drives for which one
reallocated sector is a sign of the coming avalanche of them, but then there
are also ones (e.g. my Hitachi 2TB) which work for years, over than period
develop 3-5-7 reallocated sectors, and THAT'S IT, they just continue to work.
And if there's an unreadable sector on rebuild as a drive found its 8th bad
sector after 3 more years of perfect operation, that's not a problem either,
because the setup they run in, is RAID6. (Not to compensate for this, but I
wouldn't be running a 8-10 drive RAID5 in any case).
