I just started using the Linux Webmin console and WOW, it has a lot of options. I ran some SMART test and viewed the drives and my one drive shows that it passes all tests but there are 13.3 billion seek errors and this thing is passing!? WTF really.

Here are some screen shots of the SMART page from Webmin.

Nothing looks terrible. There are no reallocations. Values are still above threshold where applicable.
 
Agreed. The following ID#s are all 0. 5,187, 197,198,199. These are the most important. The drive looks fine to me. Don't look very hard into the Seek error rate, Raw Read error rate, Hardware_ECC_Recovered. I have yet to see these be a sign that a drive is failing and I RMA 10+ drives per year.

I beleive most of those error rates are basically amount of reads in between errors (not total count) so a higher number is better AFAIK.
