- dev_snd 4y agoEversince that backblaze post I've been monitoring only these five relevant SMART values and replace a disk once I have 2 of these values being in the not-normal range. I haven't had a disk failing on me ever since. Before that, I had lost all trust in SMART, as it would report drives as "healthy" that could fail next day.
