an odd occurrence with the seagte 500gb used as the system drive on my windows home server.
the motherboard reported during one start up that the smart was bad. so i turned smart off and everything was normal. the drives kept on reporting to the operating system that it was bad. it keeps on doing this once per day.
i d/l a prog from seagate (seatools)to test the drive. the bad one passed all the tests i could throw at it. does this still indicate imminent failure or is the smart on that drive out of whack?
thx for any info.
