Dave:

Check out my website, I have written a drive watch 
script that does just that.

I've also updated it quite a bit to support SSO, that 
one hasn't made it to the site yet...but if you'd like 
that one too let me know.

I'm also working on a utility that reports on the 
actual drive performance, not just what NBU 
reports...this isn't done just yet.
