S.M.A.R.T Failing!

Post by dhm »

Has anybody had this message in OSX Disk Utility Its in Red

"S.M.A.R.T Status failing" My 2nd internal HD on my G5 is my Audio Only Recording Drive for DP. Everything is backed up. But as a Pro I cannot eford to lose data. I wonder if I need to get a new Drive? Cheers DH

It means drive failure is inevitable in the near future. Backup the drive and replace it with a new one.
