Hi there,
brand new thinkpad z60m , 100GB Sata drive. Wednesday night, it started
doing this little tsttt....tsttt..tstt... like it was trying to re-spin
or something like this. laptop crashed - HARD. FS were a complete mess,
drive VERY slow to use, most of the time doing the noise.
this lasted for 3 days. Before returning it under warranty, i
decided to wipe whatever data was there, so I left the drive running
outside the laptop over the weekend on an USB-SATA adapter - the noise
was still there, and pushing about ... 20 Kbps only.
This morning the drive is working just fine and I can access ALL the
data just fine (was using an OS-X box and must have made a mistake on
my dd line , not sure why, BUT it didnt wipe a thing).

ANYWAY, smartctl shows this:
[....]
Error 65535 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 214 hours (8 days + 22
hours) When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was
active or idle.

 HOW bad is the drive damaged? I run the selftests and it didnt report
any issues, but I'm sure if I had run them on Friday, they would have
all failed.

thanks for any advice / comment,
Beto
