Sort of. It noticed the initial failures and e-mailed me a warning long before I would have otherwised noticed. I lost a couple files, but without SMART I probably wouldn't have noticed any failures for a long time (probably not until something fairly catastrophic happened). > In my use and in the use of 4-5 people I know it only makes you > aware of errors after the drive is failing but still online. Which is better than not knowing until the drive is failed and offline. :) -- Grant
