What SMART and utilities like SMART are designed to do is alert the user to potential drive failures. As you know, drives are very complex electro mechanical devices. Not only is the integrity of the disks and heads important, but other parameters, such as rotational speed, data transfer rates, et. al. are also important. So, SMART gives you advanced warning that it's time to get you data off the drive and swap out to a new drive.
