Time spent waiting for uncorrectable errors

Hi,

is there any data regarding how long current disks try to read a
sector before quitting with an uncorrectable error? The problem is,
that i have no reliable way to reproduce the error, i will try to read
from a hopefully (!) broken disk this afternoon and try to measure the
time spent for that.

bye, alex
