Nope.  SMART is the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
built into most modern disks.  It constantly checks the health of the
disk (if you enable it) and can predict (some) failures in advance
(typically giving you 24 hours' warning).  The check_smart plugin
interrogates SMART and lets you know if the drive is unhappy.
