Please remember that SMART is predictive, whereas the manufacturer's diagnostic is analytical.

The Smart feature has alot of error codes to present to you at anytime. If your supplier starts acting up.....stop them in their tracks and give them a random smart code. They will shut up and summerize an error report. For example......error code 203 means ECC errors. After giving the supplier that code what else can they say to you? The supplier works for you under contract. You don't have time to defrag, do this and do that. Make them work.

They will end up giving you a free tech person to replace all those harddrives or give you priority over everyone else when their supply is low. As a bonus, it will stop the clock until the new unit arrives 2-3 days later. If your customers complain, give them the RMA number and tell them to STFU. **This is a good answer to give an interviewer if you are looking for a tech job and hardware failure questions come up. It separates the men from the little boys.**

The person working at Google didn't tell you the whole story. This is how you get things done and make people jump. That code saved your workload and made you look good to the boss when the customers are complaining to him/her. You right....it is predictive in this case.
