In this case, it looked like 5 UNC errors for a single sector, and some weird 
latency patterns, till I ran badblocks -w on it, then it gave me > 10k

badblocks test, it "looked" ok, now It's most definitely dead.

I presume it's ok to do that even if the drives do ERC/TLER? Just woke up, but 
my brain seems to be telling me it shouldn't break anything since the ERC 
drives should always return after 7s no matter what...
