Help interpreting SMART values
So I just lost 2 Western Digital 1TB HDDs (WD10EARS and WD10EADS) due to unknown causes. One went dead dead, the other one just nuked my Win7 partition and started arbitrary denying access to the other, data partition. Weird as hell since SMART never indicated anything wrong, they simply suddenly went kaput.
Now I got this Seagate drive and the SMART shows everything as "Green\OK", but it shows some really high numbers for RAW values (all other attributes are at 0 and 1 for High Fly Rates).
What's the meaning of those RAW values? Thanks in advance.
