Bug Description
With any hard disk that I plug in via SATA on my PC that supports SMART technology, the Gnome Disk Utility, no matter how many runing hours the disk has had, will tell me that every single attribute has a "Pre-Fail" or "Old-Age" type, which I know is completely untrue especially because of the fact that I have tried this over and over again on multiple PCs and multiple Hard Disks.
Maybe the Disk Utility just isn't calibrated correctly for modern disks?
