Absolutely. It's mandatory more or less. It gives you error rates on all
the things you need to worry about. This drive has been going a shade
over 5 years of actual 'on' time as my linux desk top boot drive: data
is held on a server so it doesn't get much action. But logs are written
to this. So it has in fact more writes than reads! (9780 GB versus 5255GB)
It still reports 95% of its useful life left.

Of what good are dead warriors? … Warriors are those who desire battle
more than peace. Those who seek battle despite peace. Those who thump
their spears on the ground and talk of honor. Those who leap high the
battle dance and dream of glory … The good of dead warriors, Mother, is
that they are dead.
