Not any disk I ever had fail. All of 'em worked perfectly
right up to the instant where they wouldn't boot
one day. Nothing in the logs, no smart warnings, nuthin.

In fact, I've always wondered what good all the smart
reporting is for since no disk I've owned has ever had any
problems reported right up to the point where it wouldn't
talk enough for smart to access it :-).
