Smart errors

Does receiving a "Smart Error", regardless of the error number, mean automatic replacement of the drive, no questions asked?  Is there any reason to run diagnostics on the drive(s) when a smart error has occured?  What could possibly running a report like DSET accomplish once a Smart Error has been received?

    I wouldn't say that the drive absolutely needs to be replaced (although many would be quick to disagree). I had a bad IDE cable generate SMART errors before.
