[mythtv-users] OT: hard drive failure?

I would find the numbers a bit concerning, but drives do arrive dead
sometimes, manufacturers often no longer bother to test every drive.
However, as one manufacturer tried to tell me recently, the smart data isn't
necassarily decoded correctly. (I would be dubious about the fact that your
Min/Max for temp is 0/26, whereas the current temperature is 45).
Make sure you have the latest version of smartctl, and try running some of
the extended tests on it and see what they report.

Subject: [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
