Vendor-specific SMART attribute?

This is a recently bought SATA HDD (arrived last Saturday). Sometimes, SMART reports this vendor-specific attribute as failed, but I have no idea what it means, nor do I know if this is dangerous or not. Most of the time, this attribute is just fine (not reported as failed).

What do you think? Anything I should be worried about? Everything seems to work just fine, though... (everything's perfectly readable/writeable and it's got good performance)
 
I checked again with the diagnostics utility and it turns out it's the airflow temperature. It's not covered by warranty according to the utility, but that's okay. It doesn't seem to be anything serious. But I'll mess around with the HDDs positions and see if I can improve the layout. I'm using a 4-in-3 thingie from Cooler Master inside my Stacker CM case.
