Im not sure I see this a big deal. I guess for people that don’t know to check drive health, it may be alarming to have a warning staring you down.

In the grand scheme of things this isn’t a big deal. If you’re not using some kind of RAID parity system I guess I wouldn’t mind the notification. I think it is probably overkill, though. Just seems like they want everyone that’s had a hard drive for three years to buy a new one. The fact that some drives that are still under warranty show the warning is sketchy.
The main problem is that overusing a warning system will make people ignore it so it will not be as effective once something actually bad happens.
