Count your blessings there. ActiveSmart, it seems, is not detecting any downward trend in the SMART indicators at this time. Put in a known "bad" hard drive and see what happens. I installed ActiveSmart to check on one of my drives and I knew that the drive was already bad. My BIOS said that SMART failed on that drive about fifty percent of the time whenever I booted up. Of course the drive worked fine after booting. ActiveSmart predicted the drive would live for about another 6 months. And it was right. Drive froze two weeks after the date ActiveSmart predicted would be the DOD.  | |

Probably not. When the SMART indicators said "bad" in the BIOS for me, the DOD predicted for me was a few months off. And I used that drive right up to the DOD, taking extra precautionary backup measures on it. | |

| I found a new hard drive utility which I really like a lot...it's called HDD Health...HDD Health is a full-featured failure-prediction software program...it's currently in beta but the program really is very nice...shows every last detail about your hard drive--including temps, SMART settings, advanced settings and overall health a tab named "Partitions" will even display some detailed information about the partitions that are currently residing on the selected drive, while a modified progress bar in the lower part of the window shows the amount of free space for every partition Active Smart is a good program but HDD Health looks a bit better to me...seems to show more detailed hard drive settings as well...it's also freeware...give it a try Flash File Recovery download flash recovery software for Windows **scroll down to the bottom of the page for the HDD Health program

A little OT, but when you said only 3md, I thought about my 80286 that was kicking - 640kb of memory. Then I supped it up with a 20mb external HD. | |
