[X4U] SMART Drive Status

[Nick Scalise]

Hello,

I just upgraded a G5 to 10.4.1, (Rev.A G5 1.8 -Single/160GB/1.5GB RAM) all went well and the machine is running. However, I went into disk utility to repair permissions for the last time and the drive name in the left column was in red and near the bottom of the window there is  "SMART status: Failing"

Hmm, I just went to check it again, and now SMART Status is Verified.

I was going to ask how long I have before I replace the HD, should I leave it running, etc. But now it looks as though it should at least survive the weekend?

Has anyone experienced a situation like this before?

TIA
