Hello Ubuntuforums,

I would like to figure out how can I interpret the outcome of performed test by smartctl (GSmartControl) on my hard drive. I read some explication on how to read it but the language is way to tech for me.

What I really would like to know is:
[1] Is my hard-drive in a healthy state or is it going to fail soon?
[2] How a non techie guy can interpret outcome of this test ? Is there any: If "threshold" is higher or lower than "RAW value" then you hard drive is ... (state). Any simplification on reading?



Thank you very much.
