It doesn't seem to have anything to do with SMART. In all cases, SError DIAG is reporting handshake error too (R_ERR received). I'm fairly sure these were actual hardware problems. You don't have to pay too much attention unless it happens repeatedly. Good cure for the problem is probably to re-seat the harddrive. Bruce, I don't think this is SMART related. Sorry about the noise.
