SMART drive error 0159 on WD200

[eljainc]

Hello,

I have a WD drive that recently gave me the following error (as
reported in the AMI BIOS POST):


The drive is out of warranty. Is there any way that the drive can
continued to be used to reliably store data? I have read in one place
that 0159 means the electronics are failing. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks,
Mike McWhinney
