Hard disk on its way west ?

[Graeme Dargie]

Something caught my eye on a dmesg output the other day, and it got me
wondering if this was going to cause me a problem in the near future.

 

ad4: 476940MB <Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 GM4OA5CA> at ata2-master SATA300

ad8: 476938MB <Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 GM4OA5CA> at ata4-master SATA300

 

I had a check of another machine I have with the same make and model of
hard disk and they all seem to report 476940MB. 

 

ada0: 476940MB (976773168 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)

ada0: Native Command Queueing enabled

I have recently run the Hitachi drive fitness test on both ad4 and ad8
as I was getting timeout error, both drives passed without any errors.
