I understand, though I respectfully submit that you may want to revisit this in a future version.

I'm not suggesting that you become a data recovery applet, but bad blocks are something that happens to 100% of drives *eventually*

Automatically failing on any drive with any unreadable data doesn't seem to me to be a great strategy.

It falls in line with Apple's approach though, so I understand this.
It's unfortunate that OS X also has no provision for bad blocks either.
It does help me understand why frequent backups are more common in the Mac world.

I thought you all were just paranoid, but you're just dealing with a lack of functionality.

I really don't want to digress into an OS Holy War - but I would point out that Apple's failure to make provisions for bad blocks is NOT normal and I know of no other platform that lacks the ability to detect and mark them, most also have the ability to move the data to a safe location.

I had to use a third party utility to even expose the bad blocks on this drive.
