To complete the information, I haven't been noting it as carefully as I
probably should but it appears that the value given in the itself is not
really drifting, just oscillating around.

SMART Prefailure Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 67 to 68
SMART Prefailure Attribute: 7 Seek_Error_Rate changed from 68 to 69

Perhaps I shouldn't worry, but that guy claims to have got a new
disk just based on the RAW_VALUE changing

Anybody know?
