SMART seems fairly irrelevant

None of the bad drives so far have triggered SMART. I was told earlier, that after they fail the OEM equipment, we use a third party HDD tester. It's this rack of devices that you plug the HDDs into. I forget what it's called.

All but a couple have failed that test too. The strange thing is that PassMark works fine in another business group and fails HDDs accordingly.
