I've got a few drives I've swapped out of my truenas array, and I can't quite remember if the reason for swapping them out was justified, like a ridiculous amount of errors etc. I'd like to know what are y'all's procedures to properly checking that a drive is dying/dead/not worth re-using, regardless of the data stored on them.

Currently I'm using seatools to run smart tests and try to format/"fix" them, some of them haven't been able to even run a smart test, immediately aborting. I assume that is one indicator?
