A desktop Seagate 320GB hard drive of mine sometimes makes a buzzing noise. I ran 'smartctl -t long /dev/sda' and I get:
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error # 1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 11740 - Does the noise mean I need to replace the drive, or would smartmontools tell me if there was a problem? - Grant
