I have to go with Google on this
Through the thousands of hard drive failures that I have dealt with exactly one drive was diagnosed before failing by SMART.

I remember when SMART was first introduced. After a few years I realized that SMART wasn't going to go anywhere useful.

Diagnosing a hard drive by its sound is a lot more useful and accurate.
