SMART-signaled failures are propagated/signaled by udisksd.
SMART is very good but
not conclusive: we've seen RAID failures where
disks just die or become unresponsive, without anything wrong indicated
in SMART. Backblaze did a series of hard drive reliability reports that
document that as well; they are a great read if you haven't seen them:
