Hard Disks have bad batches, I guess part of the manufacturing process? I have seen them fail very quickly in a certain time period and then not fail at all for a while, very interesting, caution! --
badblocks will often find motor failures as well. If the motor is going to fail, it will often fail very early in the life of the disk (i.e. the first part of the bathtub curve.) By spinning up the d
