Steve Gibson finally put up a page that explains how to read the real time SMART status display in Spinrite:

Thanks for the link. I was always wondering how to read that screen.

I've been lucky with my 2 hard drives. I installed them new in December 2007 and they both are still working in my XP rig that runs every day. I have run SpinRite twice in this time frame, using option #4 on both drives.
