I was checking other SMART reports to compare the value because I hadn’t checked this specific value before, and apparently this value is also in other drives Intel® SSD 540s Series and Intel® SSD 545s Series that were working fine, so these family drives seem to have this value by default.</P><P>On the other hand, a value which is directly associated to the drive health is the <B><I>Media Wearout Indicator (E9)</I></B> which is currently at 100%. This means that the drive is in perfect conditions, so you don’t have to worry about it.</P><P>Anyhow, you can keep using the Intel® SSD Toolbox to keep monitoring the drive. If you notice anything weird with it, feel free to contact us.</P><P>I hope you find this information useful.</P><P>Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.</P><P>Have a nice day.</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Diego V.</P><P>Intel Customer Support Technician</P><P>Under Contract to Intel Corporation</P> Sat, 19 Jan 2019 01:50:04 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/545s-ssdsc2kw256g8xt-129-159-vendor-specific/m-p/11221#M2624 DiegoV_Intel 2019-01-19T01:50:04Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/545s-ssdsc2kw256g8xt-129-159-vendor-specific/m-p/11222#M2625 <P>Hi athdpt,</P><P>I would like to know if there is anything else I can help you with, or if my response above answered your concern about the drive's status.</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Diego V.</P><P>Intel Customer Support Technician</P><P>Under Contract to Intel Corporation</P> Tue, 22 Jan 2019 02:22:27 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/545s-ssdsc2kw256g8xt-129-159-vendor-specific/m-p/11222#M2625 DiegoV_Intel 2019-01-22T02:22:27Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/545s-ssdsc2kw256g8xt-129-159-vendor-specific/m-p/11223#M2626 <P>Hi athdpt,</P><P>If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask.</P><P>Regards,</P><P>Diego V.</P><P>Intel Customer Support Technician</P><P>Under Contract to Intel Corporation</P> Fri, 25 Jan 2019 02:53:57 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/545s-ssdsc2kw256g8xt-129-159-vendor-specific/m-p/11223#M2626 DiegoV_Intel 2019-01-25T02:53:57Z
