    I dont believe so. How can I verify?

      You can look in system.log and kernel.log for disk errors.

       

      You can also look at disk_smart.log for SMART errors.

        only errors i see in system log are:  kernel: sky2: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -1

         

        Is it safe to post all logs here?
