I was
hoping Mac OS X came with badsect command since it is based on FreeBSD
as shown in http://www.manpages.info/macosx/badsect.8.html, but it
doesn't unless I missed something.

You can install it but I forget how. I installed xattr a while back.
I think it was JR who told me how to do it.
Also, I think all Mac Internal drives implement S.M.A.R.T. which you
can check.

all drives implement smart. there's nothing special about the ones

That may be true but there appears to be no way to access it on
external drives. None of the disk utilities I have can read it on
external Seagate or Western Digital drives.
