It's not actually a very good guide to failure. The figures I've
seen quoted from NetApp are that SMART data will only give you warning
of a pending drive failure in about 20% of cases, and that's if you
know what you're looking for (which most systems don't, as they can't
do the same level of analysis as NetApp can, to get the data).
