[smartmontools-support] two new HDDs: Number of Mechanical Start Failures: 6

[serando]

I have now an answer from the support:

Quote: The SMART value "Number of Mechanical Start Failures: 6" 
originates from the production process and is no longer relevant for the 
finished hard disk. The classic SMART attributes describe the current 
state of the hard disk and in both cases they are OK, so there is 
probably no error here.
