Possible root death causes as I see them:
- 1 * NAND depletion (Samsung 470 64GB)
- 1 * Data retention (Crucial M4 64GB)
- 1 * Uncorrectable errors (Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 60GB)
- 1 * Controller failure? (Corsair F40 40GB)
Out of which I believe Samsung 470 and Mushkin Chronos Deluxe were somehow predicted in a right way by SMART. Overall it's not bad, 50% chances to have a good death prediction. Probably hard drives are not too different from this point of view.
