This is wrong. The most useful thing SMART can do is tell the drives to run a self test and tell you what the result was. IIRC, smartctl /dev/sda -d sat -t short smartctl /dev/sda -d sat -l selftest If it passes short and long tests it's probably OK. If it fails a short test you should think about replacing it. I also heartily second Russell's suggestion, viz. do compiles on rack-mounted servers, not laptops.
