Re: [Smartmontools-database]Toshiba MK3017GAP

Disk looks OK, but power off retract count value seems high.  I think it
indicates the number of times the disk was powered off 'hard' without an
appropriate software shutdown signal being sent.  This unloads the heads
in an uncontrolled way and puts extra stress on the drive.

Cheers,
