I have 730 Sata and 530 mSata SSDs.
When I check the smart logs
(sudo smartctl --log=devstat /dev/sdx),
the 730 seem to be giving me high
. Number of Hardware Resets
. Number of ASR Events
and the 530 mSata high
. Resets Between Cmd Acceptance and Completion
But what do these mean?
-What is and what causes "Resets Between Cmd Acceptance and Completion?"
-What are and what cause "ASR Events?"
Have searched in vain for definitions
(and maybe even reasonable bounds).

Hi alienheartbeat,
I am sorry you are having problems.
I regret to say Linux is not my strength. I would recommend you checking on Linux communities or maybe a Linux experience member from our community can provide some feedback on this.

Alienheartbeat, is it possible to share a screenshot of the SMART log showing these events?
Please share more information about your system, such as http://www.intel.com/support/siu.htm Intel® System Identification Utility or msinfo32 report (press Windows* key + R key, type "msinfo32", press OK and then File, Export). You can attach it with the Advanced Editor.

@kevin_intel No Linux problem here - I am asking about the meaning of Smart events in the context of Intel SSDs.
@joe_intel I have attached as requested:
. the logs for sda and sdb (devstat-sdx-140730.lst)
. the full smart listing for these two devices (fulllist-sdx-140730.lst)
. A system information report done with hardInfo (I don't use Windows so can't use your utility).
If you require any further info about the system let me know.
fwiw for the mSata 530, I notice that the number of
Resets Between Cmd Acceptance and Completion
is the same as the number of
Number of Hardware Resets
and I suspect this is related to the line in the 'capabilities' section:
Abort Offline collection upon new command,
an issue which has been raised elsewhere in these forums.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

Alienheartbeat, I was able to find some information for you.
These "events" are actually Device Statistics as explained in the page 23, table 14 of the specifications document.
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-530-m2-specif... http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-530-m2-specif...
These three statistics do not have an equivalent SMART attribute but are explained below.
None of these indicate an issue with the Intel® SSD. They are events that happen in the normal course of operation. The one exception might be ASR events. Steadily increasing ASR events might indicate an issue with the SATA port or the SATA cable.
