install smartmontools from ports then: smarctl -t long /dev/ad4 after a couple hours check status: smartctl -a /dev/ad4 Western Digital harddisks are notoriously unreliable (I just had 2 WD5000YS fail recently, at about the same time; one had ~200 hrs on it, the other ~1700h), especially the YS models. Also, WDC won't replace them... Beware.
