Mike,

Thank you so much for the information you have provided. I installed 
smartmontools from ports, what a great tool!

However, I see 0 (zero) Reallocated_Sector_Ct ... So the hard drive seems to 
be okay? I attach the full output below. Is there someone knowledgeable 
about HD Smart information, who can possible tell me if this drive looks 
like if it is failing?
