Do not test the SMART Gods, you should bow to them for giving you a warning.
YMMV.
As far as the CRC goes, I would first make sure your OS did not dumb down
the IDE drive to PIO mode.

Subject: [H] Hard Drive Problems
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 23:54:43 -0400
I need help on this one. I have 4 hard drives in my system.
*Disk 1 Sata Raptor Raid Striped Set drive letter = c
*Disk 2 Sata Raptor Raid Striped Set
*Disk 3 IDE WD drive drive letter = d
*Disk 4 WD Sata drive drive letter = e
Drive letter D disappeared twice from my system in the past week. I'd
reboot and it would show up again under my computer, disk manager, etc.
However, when I try to copy data from d to C, I get a CRC error and it
won't
finish copying. I thought D was dying. I ran WD tests on it and it came
up
no problem.
However, I just opened their data lifeguard tools again and now drive E
shows up as failing SMART status. It was passing earlier today. When I
run
a quick test on it I get "Status code = 04 (unknown failed test element),
Failure checkpoint = 64 (SMART attribute test).
So does this mean that Drive is is the culprit? If so, why would D be
disappearing?
Thanks,
Chris
