Not silent ones.  I've had disks start returning read errors, yes, but
I don't think I've ever had one start *silently* returning bad data.

That's not "silent" as I understood the term to be used here.  It's
quite noisy, in fact.  The failure mode I take "silent data corruption"
to refer to is "write once, then read and get something different with
no error indication".
