=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: FAILED! Drive failure expected in less than 24 hours. SAVE ALL DATA.
So much for one of the new drives… I was suspicious of it from the start since it made really odd squealing noises while seeking, but that clinches it.
Oh well, my MythTV box will have to soldier on as-is for a little bit longer.
Edit: And upon going to the manufacturer’s site to see about RMA procedures, I’m greeted with an “Internal Server Error”. Yeah, that’s instilling a lot of confidence…
