Redundancy is not the only form of fault tolerance. It sounds like you're talking about a spectrum of things -- only a few of which would be considered redundancy.

Drive mirroring is redundancy. Retrying failed reads is not redundancy. Extra bits in each sector to enable ECC correction of up to (say) 16 consecutive bits of error, IS redundancy, but at a completely different level. I could go either way on remapping bad sectors.

Obviously, we can't have infinite voltage, or the universe would tear itself to shreds, and we wouldn't be discussing Segways.
