Hi,

actually that put's S.M.A.R.T. in question: I had a (almost new) disk where 
SMART 
reported "Good", although there was an increasing number of read errors and 
remapped sectors. The "drive fitness test" of the vendor classified the disk as 
"defective" with two different codes (excessive shock, too many defective 
sectors).

Sorry for this off-topic, but I'd recommend to everyone to check newly shipped 
disks if the packaging seems not suitable.

Ulrich
