What about the 'Hardware ECC Recovered' figure of 81?

That should be a secondary effect from imprecise seeks and may even be
normal. 81 (of 100) also does not strike me as remarkable.
Admittedly, it could be soemthing in its of right, but as several
people here have shown, ECC recovery figures are diffivuult to
interpret.
