[Linux-disciples] Lots of errors

Looks bad to me.

I've noticed lots of bad luck with these cheap 200G hard drive in the
last couple of years. None of them seem to last much longer than a year
or two.

I wonder if a hard drive fan would prevent these problems? I believe
they're recommended.

Your "remaining" and "lifetime" numbers are a little screwy. I thought
"remaining" was always supposed to be less than 100%, and "lifetime" is
supposed to be how many hours the drive has been running at the time of
the error. That doesn't seem to be what you're getting.

I don't think we have much institutional knowledge in this email list re:
SMART errors; I just know what I've pieced together by trial and error.
Maybe you should try one of the smartmontools email lists and see if you
can get some harder data and report back to us.
