I used to do a lot of Data Recovery work!!!
HDAs are quite smart bits of hardware,
When they are made they have defects (dont we all)?
The manufacture puts all the know defects into a list on the disk
PLIST pirmary defect list
then they put aside some sectors to allow for any new bad ones
during the drives life (spare sectors)
any new dectects are added to the
GLIST grown defect list
and a spare sector is put into service,
The operating system does not know this is happening
UTILL!!!! there are no spare sectors left
then if the OS chkdsk nortons or any of these see it get your data off quick
Data recovery is a very expensive and Time Consuming job

[Madmax]

while were at it there is
TCALC thermal expansion compensation
Zone Recording (this is why drives are getting bigger)
The fact that if the drive leaves is heads in one spot for too
long they overheat
ETC

worst bit is a can remeber thist shit off the top of my head
