Anyhow after this last crash that did turn out a tad expensive(pro disk recov) i decided to put up a small bit of security by using raid1. To be able to prepare myself for the inevitable problems i've setup Raid and SMART monitoring. Now your wiki says that the disks lie about SMART data (ok ata bashing is trendy but regarldess), Any info/db about what goes for various vendors in this regard? Regards Jonas Lund
