Via Ubuntu's "Disk Utility", I've tried the "SMART" self tests on the

Now you mention it, I've never seen a SMART report say anything other

SMART needs to be .... Smarter.
Interesting... We have been running Fedora 14 last year and 16 this year
and
have had the disk utility be too "SMART". It lets me know the warnings and
when it gets too high, starts popping up disk failing errors.. but they are
warnings and not bad enough for the warantee to kick in and get a
replacement drive.
Not many drives give errors and very few fail though.
