SMART status for average Joe?
Authored by: extra88 on Aug 06, '04 11:37:42AM

I haven't tried this script yet but everyone should care about the SMART status of their hard drives. The details generally don't matter to most people all that matters is if the disk is "good" or "bad."

If the SMART system warns you, back up your data right away, shut down, and install a replacement drive. There's no reason to play "chicken" with a drive that *will* fail.
