Re: Need help with "reallocated sector count"?

Most of the computer users, including professionals, don't look at or
take care SMART's "reallocated sectors count" value, they usually take
care full / surface scans against data loss unless SMART reaches to a
critical level with alerting.

I have e-mailed Seagate to ask about the topic title, they haven't
replied with a satisfactory answer so far. Maybe they know or not. Who
knows?

Even sometimes, i hear contact noise, i detailed it them, they said:
if the drive passes long test, i shouldn't worry. As i'm not an
amateur, i usually watch SMART values to see what goes on.

My other SMART values are those (latest):

Are they any value that should make me concerned? (no pending or
uncorrectable sectors)

Sorry, if the lines slide out of the page, i use Google to access
newsgroups, don't know how you get here :-(

Thanks.
