[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1528703, member: 131855"] A while back I was researching an article for About This Particular Mac once and started to wonder why one drive utility was showing a drive's S.M.A.R.T status as failing (ok on some runs not on others) while Disk Utility reported the status as verified. A few days later Disk Utility also reported the status as failing. I started to wonder why one utility caught the problem earlier than the other. It seems that [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#Self-tests"]not all S.M.A.R.T attributes are tested by all utilities[/URL]. The failure threshold may not be the same for all utilities as well. [/QUOTE]
