I was reading about S.M.A.R.T. data and stuff so I downloaded a utility from Apple's website. The readings I got are attached. Are these values good bad or what? they mean nothing to me.:)
If it matters I have had my MacBook Pro since September. It is the 2.2GHz model with a 160gb 5400RPM drive. It's is a Fujitsu drive.
Thanks!

Honestly, I think only people with a degree in IT or computing stand a chance on decoding that lot! some of it makes sense to me, but if you're worried about the performance of your hard drive, you can use disk utility to verify and carry out first aid on your disk. You find that in the utilities folder in applications.

Either that or you could try iStat Pro - a free widget obtainable here which will tell you everything bout your HDD and indeed the rest of the mac :)

It may help if we knew why you're worried about those figures to start with? is the performance dipping or something?

I was reading up on S.M.A.R.T once and saw all that. If you look though none of the tests has ever failed. I would think all is fine. If there was one that said Failed I would then be concerned. Those are all the categories that are being tested by SMART.

I tried iStat but it caused me problems with my Mouse when I woke from sleep. After un-installing it, I never had the problem again. I guess I don't need to worry as i do back up my computer in Time machine every day.
