Hay guyz,
My hard drive reports 240 S.M.A.R.T. errors. Mostly read/write. Time to replace?

Just for the record, SMART is a poor indicator of drive health -- it doesn't trigger failure soon enough. Google's study of hard drive health (they sure as hell own enough of them to know) suggests that SMART doesn't predict failure well for an individual drive. On the other hand, any drive with bad sectors (aka reallocated sectors) is on its deathbed.
