I've been getting these mails once daily for the last week - is my USB
HDD on the way out? I have not seen any difference from a user point
of view.
It is a WD Element 1TB model, can't be more than 2 years old I think.
It is also a media server HDD and is on all the time, spinning up and
down when needed. The host is Debian 7.2
