[mythtv-users] OT: hard drive failure?

I just bought the  Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 from newegg and installed
it as my /videos partition. I happened to do a smartctl command on it
for no particular reason and some numbers that came back jumped out at
me. Could this drive be failing already? Hardware_ECC_Recovered and
Raw_Read_Error_Rate and Seek_Error_Rate are continually going up as
one can see below. Is this something that should concern me?

Also, what is an acceptable operating temperature for a hard drive?

Thanks,
Steve
