The Wikipedia article tells me that it can herald predictable hard drive failure due to mechanical wear. However, it also says that it's normally turned off by default on many BIOSes because it slows performance.

Could be.
But as portable players nowadays have "standard" HDD's included, they also should support S.M.A.R.T.
I thought it could be useful for Rockbox to have a plugin/function that can read it's status and display it to the users. This way, the failing of a hard disk could be predicted.

I can see how some users might want this. I would probably opt to keep it off most of the time for the sake of better performance. But I guess periodic enabling of SMART would probably still help. . . Can SMART be turned on/off at any time?

I guess so, as there are SMART ENABLE and SMART DISABLE commands...

It was 3, but even that was abused more than I liked.

Wow, fast reply! :)
But I understand your point, it's kinda stupid people don't use e-tiquette or something like that.

How do you mean, nothing happened? At least the "Please wait..." message should show up...
Are you sure you executed the smart.rock plugin?
