TL;DR:* ...the rebuilding successful rate is very low even for 4 bay SATA 5
array with 1TB disks. It’s nearly impossible to guarantee a successful
rebuilding with this type of disk because of its too high URE. Another
alarming fact about URE is: it has no correlation to the drive’s age.*

It's obviously worse with consumer drives compared to enterprise drives -
I'm not sure what Hetzner provision though.

(Sorry for the slow reply - been AFK.)
