Seems it uses a 3dmark like report scheme, using other peoples averages for comparison along with manufacturers guides.

Reallocated Sector Count sounds like a important part of the drive but smart is a guide only, you cant get estimates on how long the drive will last =0 - could be weeks, could be months or even years! good emasure is to backup and replace!

You can rename the sensors by going into config and F2ing the sensors!
