/dev/hda is actually the DVD burner drive:

I have my hard drives on a RAID - they are pretty new SATA's.

That said, I have had problems before with this DVD Drive, so it might be time to replace it, but I haven't had a disk in it at all today and I've had crashes - in fact I just had dillo crash while reading your dang email in claws-mail:

Should I still try smartctl/smartd on the DVD drive?
