I finally got a fast connection to read this presentation.

Yes, slide 4 mentioned Careful Read & Careful Write. I noticed that
there were also Stable Read & Stable Write!

But then, do all RAID storage chipsets do them? :)

No, and I have never heard this terminology before.

With regard to decay, this is BS. What you need to
do is surface scans and potential consistency checks.

The read repetition is done by the drive today
(less so for RAID edition drives). Writes fail only
when the disk is near death, so careful write makes
no sense at all.

This presentation seems to refer to RAID on historic
disks.
