G sense error rate bad but good write error rate

[shamowa24]

Hi, i have a netbook which is still working without noticeable problems but i occasionally checked the smart data and g sense error rate has a very bad value. Should i take it as a warning sign even if the write error rate and all of the other values seem ok?

Spoiler

AFAIK, the G-Sense Error Rate records external shock events, so a bad score for this attribute is not the fault of the drive.
