Hi athdpt,
Thank you for sharing the report.
The value of the attribute 129-159 is just a constant value that is not related to the drive health. 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.
On the other hand, a value which is directly associated to the drive health is the Media Wearout Indicator (E9) which is currently at 100%. This means that the drive is in perfect conditions, so you don’t have to worry about it.
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.
I hope you find this information useful.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Have a nice day.
