Hi,
wondering if anyone had a similar experience. This drive was rock solid and still is, just that S.M.A.R.T. has gone a bit crazy (?). How reliable is this? Anyone have a similar experience? I'm asking here as many Amigans like myself still use SCSI.
I read someone was having a similar issue, but does not mean the hard disk is going bad. (going to back up the data just in case). I haven't noticed any bizarre things (like locking up or freezing or loud noise). :-?
