I get from time to time information "SMART Failure predicted" for HDD below after Network audit, but additional tests (SMART status, SHORT, LONG in progress) are ok.
Any idea, what's the problem, does anyone has same disk with such issue?

Maybe the disk drive only reports SMART failure once in a couple of SMART attributes readout cycles, so it could be a false alarm. I recommend you to check it with HD Sentinel as well, since it's a software designed for HDD and SSD monitoring:

http://hdsentinel.com

Maybe that tool would reveal something unusual about your drive, or it reassures the SMART alarm...

Well...so HDSentinel shows excellent status, I will keep it running and let's see....

Well...so there is no problem with the drive itself, but Everest is behaving in very strange way - each time when Kingston Datatraveler flashdrive is connected, new "drive" and SMART status are detected, obviously it's nonsense. No other SW (eg. Speedfan and HD Sentinel above) is detecting any "new" drive. Is that a bug ? I tried to delete all USB drivers via "USBDeview" from NIRSOFT, but it didn't help. Flashdrive is working flawlessly.

Take a look on screenshots...

Any idea ?

It's definitely a phantom drive that is detected somehow by the JMicron ATA passthru method we're using. We could filter out your drive if you could send us a report (TXT format) of the Devices / USB Devices page alone. Please cut out the debug info from it, it's not necessary in this case. Copy-paste the remaining part of the report into this topic.


Thanks,
