    I have a retail store that uses an nc6000 as a server and today I went down to see why it was not working. Rebooted the computer and it came up with a message similar to the following:

    "Smart drive has detected that your hard drive is imminently going to fail".

    Press F1 to continue.

    Guess what, hard drive won't boot. Their Smart drive technology is not so smart!
