Could you explain that? I thought SMART was just
a way to communicate diagnostic data from the drive.

It's been decided to get a new disk. The old one
is a WD10JPVX. I thought it was a hybrib but it
seems to be just a normal moving disk type. Do
you have any links to info that might be relevant?
I'm trying to talk my friend into an SSD, but they're
still very expensive.
