It reminds me of the old MFM hard drive days. Manufacturers always included a sticker on the drive that showed bad sectors. I never had to do anything with the list since DOS format automatically locked out bad ones. Nowadays with IDE drives, any flaws are hidden and never cause a problem either.

S.M.A.R.T. probably track all these stuff in case of IDE/SATA drives. I checked my SSD and it says 0 damaged blocks but lots of 'data noise' (probably due the cable looping another sata cable)
