AWRE will automatically replace bad blocks on writing, thus you
should not see write errors. ARRE will replace bad blocks
on read. However, in case of a READ ERROR with no recovery
possible even with the error correction bits (ie too many
bit errors), the error is fatal, data is lost, and the error
MUST be transmitted to the host.
The PER parameter specifies in detail how this must be handled.
