Yesterday a few vendor reps were talking to us, and one of them
mentioned that he invested in the smart HD...he said that it complained
about a drive going south, and after a week of these warnings, the
hard-drive did go bad. He was glad he backed everything up after the
first warning.
So, though I'm a second hand source, I've heard that the smart HD are
accurate enough to give you fair warning.
