Vasudevan, again this is something to troubleshoot iIf your disk is actually giving you trouble. However, I don't see any bad values here, so unless your disk is misbehaving your probably fine. I

If your disk is actually giving you trouble, remember to troubleshoot the power, the cables, the motherboard connection as well as the disk itself. I just went through a nightmare of disk failures and pc crashes before discovering I had a bad power connector on one of my disks. I'd recommend reading the definitions of what those smart values mean to get a handle on it. Each vendor reports things differently, but for example "power on hours" is some representation of how many hours (or whatever measure of time they want to use :-) ), the disk has been in use.

'SMART' data from 'Disks' app shows lot of out of range values - quantal and raring beta2

Does these indicate h/w problems (brand new hardware - only a few weeks old) or tool reporting issues? Thanks much.
