Wasn't sure if I should run it on /dev/sdx, or /dev/sdx[#]. I did both, on all three drives, and no errors showing anywhere - the latter two (on /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) show no uncorrected errors, and no errors corrected by ECC. /dev/sda gives me a lot more output, but says no errors logged. I don't really understand why sda gives so much more info, nor do I understand the o/p at the beginning. The headers for the second section read: SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 10 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE and there are numbers under RAW_VALUE, but are those the values of the manufacturer's limits? Certainly, there is nothing but dashes under WHEN_FAILED. Do you need more info? mark
