Re: Unclean, Unclean!

SMART is an industry wide standard for testing Hard Drives and reporting on predicted failures. With a small software package from the HDD manufactuers you can actually read the date and time when the Hard Drive is predicted to fail. Of course it does end up being something of a moving target, but for those with large server farms and huge libraries it is helpful.
