Seek Error Rate is below the average limits (53-100)

Not sure whether to be worried or not - everything else is in the green on it. It's a Seagate.

When do you sleep, CS?
If posting is the first screen up after pushing the power button ,that's correct!

POST = Power On Self Test, yes its the first screen you see prior to booting your OS :)
