Hi,
the SMART overall-health self-assessment test result of this USB 
external HDD is FAILED from my first use of smartmontools a few months 
ago, although there are no failed Attributes found.
I don't believe in the test result, because I never had trouble with 
this HDD and I still use it for months since I first used smartctl.

What may this test result mean?
Regards
bege

Here is the data of the HDD:
