For what it's worth, Google have done a study of literally thousands of hard
disks (in their own servers) and found no correlation between SMART error reports and actual disk failures. It's probably not worth worrying about. Just make sure you've got a good backup regime. SteveT |

Thanks Adam If you are using an nVidia motherboard and/or chipset, with SATA drives, then SMART is not supported being that this chipset recognizes SATA drives as SCSI devices, which do not support SMART. On nVidia's site, they do propose a work around... for use at your own risk. ______________________ The Traveller Oceanside, California |
