It seems quite unlikely to me that Ardour could cause Linux to destroy a hard drive. On the other hand hard drives do fail. Logically, they are likely to be running a program when they do fail. It's therefore easy to think it's the program hurting the drive when in fact it was just the drive failing. I don't know much about running the 'SMART' tools, but I think it's time for me to start learning. And again, I think that having a good LiveCD for looking at these things helps a lot. - Mark
