SSDSA2MH080G1GC - Input Output Errors, a sign of imminent failure?

[idata]

Hi, I have an X-25M as my system/boot drive in a 2009 MacPro and lately I've been getting input output errors when backing up. There's been no issues re useability/performance that I can detect, is this a cause for concern? Is the drive in danger of failing? Many thanks. -dave

Are there OSX tools that allow you to read the SMART values from the drive?

Hi, Disk Utility says the smart status is verified. What do the folks at Intel do when they see this error? Thanks, Dave

Does the tool give you the individual SMART values?

Have you tried replacing the SATA cable?

Well this isn't looking good. It's reporting 100 "uncorrectable errors." I think I'm outside of warranty too. Now I'm wondering when I replace the drive will my cloned backups be any good or will I have to do a major re-install of everything.
