HDD health - what do the numbers actually mean?

Defraggler had a little tool that shows the health of the HDD.

enter image description here

But I'm unsure what this all means. Could someone explain them, and which values are good and which are bad?

3While you see the numbers, means the HDD is good. Once you stop seeing them, means its dead :) – Rook – 2011-11-25T16:34:05.447

Might as well copy and paste the SMART wiki page. Just a suggestion. – surfasb – 2011-11-25T16:50:14.067

Is this SMART? Didn't know :) – Simon Verbeke – 2011-11-25T17:11:45.853

I found a wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#Known_ATA_S.M.A.R.T._attributes

You will have to judge the values accordingly, relative to the HDD's specs.
