website, it says YOU MUST disable COMPAQ SMART support in your bios or risk drive failure. This is a default option is set to enabled on most motherboards, and new pc's.
WTF? How would the SMART communications to the drive wreck a drive?

I have no idea, but i still have that 7th drive, and it's still chugging away. the 7th drive was having all kinds of problems, so i took it out of the pc and sat it on the shelf, When i read that one day, i disabled compaq smart support, and put the drive back in. been working now for 2 years.
