Is the disk going to die? For a knowledgeable opinion, you'd need to ask someone who knows the SMART spec. Just guessing from the message, though, I'd be more prone to blame the cable first. Run the smart tools' disk test, and it will tell you whether you have anything to worry about. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/
