In my experience, smart isn't quite reliable as it should be:
I have so many examples where smart says it's ok, but it isn't, or where
smart says it's dying but the disk works perfectly.

Thus the only safe way to work it out is:

1) if smart says the disk is unhealthy, change it
2) if you get I/O errors in syslog, change it
   even if smart says it's all ok
