[BBLISA] SMART monitoring

Some verions of BIOS permit SMART monitoring of hard drives (may give the 
option to enable/disable it).

Can anyone think of a reason/situation where enabling it can cause problems?

I'm a believer that if BIOS offers it, I always enable it.
Is that wrong?

Do all kinds of drives, now, have the potential to incorporate SMART - SCSI, 
IDE, SATA, SAS?

Thanks.

Scott
