Quoting "b.n." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I found your exact same symptoms, on a SATA hard disk. I frankly have
troubles in understanding the smartctl outputs (googled of course, but
while I think the seek time metric is mostly informational and not
really indicative of harddrive failure, my experience was different
and I'll explain why.
* my harddrive made strange noises at times.
* it's seek time metric kept getting lower
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that you have to take all this
data in context.
