Not good. Manufacturers have a history of setting hugely 
overoptimistic thresholds and if the SMART failure is the 
first you know it is often too late.

Best advice is to run something like HDDSentinel or the
smard from the smartmontools (I think the demon needs 
Linux though) to get an early warning. These warn you
when defectives start to show up.
