Looking for some more information on Seagate's S.M.A.R.T. attributes shows that
they are really hard to interpret. Big raw values are often not considered bad
or sign of a problem. They recommend their SeaTools for investigating. I'll
try with their live CD on Monday when I get back to office. I'll also try with
replacing SATA cables, just to be sure that they are not faulty and
responsible for performance degradation.
