Typically once this starts to happen will the see the drive fail completely.
There are 4 smart values that are of interesting:
1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x000f 072 063 044 Pre-fail Always -
14974679
5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 036 Pre-fail Always - 0
195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered 0x001a 029 019 000 Old_age Always -
14974679
and I think its this one:
198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0010 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0
I don't see any of those and the drive summary report says that it's
good. The full report is at:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1St7BgceP3YFHjMSHrsNb1u-7Ed9nCDwG
if anyone wants to take a look (no obligation of course).
Also note that on a desktop motherboard smart error can prevent you booting into
the OS. Server motherboard do not do this.

It's not a boot drive and is connected via a USB3 dock.
