- Data will not be lost unless the drive firmware does not adhere to the
- SCSI standard. Auto reallocation on read error (ARRE) should only succeed if
- the original data can be recovered through retry or ECC AND any data
- that must be moved as the result of the sparing technique can also be
- successfully moved.
