Interesting link.  They seem to point out that smart not necessarily warns of  
pending failure.  This is probably worse than not having smart at all, as it 
gives you the illusion of safety.

If there is one thing to watch out for, it is "dew".

I remember video machines sensing for dew, so do any drives sense for "dew"?


Thanks!
