-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sorry for being little off-topic, but I am really clueless on where else I could ask.
I just installed "smartmontools" on this brand new laptop with SATA HDD, and the numbers I am seing are a bit scary. This is what I am talking about... 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate ... 90912 2 Throughput_Performance ... 22348118 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct ... 8589934592000 7 Seek_Error_Rate ... 1559 196 Reallocated_Event_Count ... 458686464 195 Hardware_ECC_Recovered ... 281 203 Run_Out_Cancel ... 433781670603 ...full output attached. 195 and 203 are sometimes increasing, and sometimes decreasing, 5 and 196 seem to be stable. This just does not make any sense. Hard drive cannot be _that_ broken and still operational, can it? I ran the "long" and "offline" tests, and there does not seem to be any errors in the logs. What is going on? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGIWh0ztOe9mov/y4RAoHcAJ9epeQ506pJPrzO45z6eoNiGu6rjgCggTAW 92V9qSbokx5gEm9f4evJ4lY= =ad9S -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
