Intel 520 SSD reserved space gone ?

[CCoul2]

Hello,

I launched my intel SSD Toolbox after a few months only to realise that my SMART Status was yellow.

Upoin further inspection, I noticed that the reason is I don't have any reserved space left (AA and E8)...

The drive is barely 2 yuears old and the total written data is about 43 TB.

Has anyone had the same problem ? Is this wear normal ? Should I have it RMA'd and would it be accepted within the warranty?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Cheers,

Hello hifibuff,

The Available Reserved Space reports the number of reserve blocks remaining. The normalized value decreases from 100 as the percent availability is reduced. The threshold value for this attribute is 10 percent availability, so your SSD has reached the threshold value.

The information you provided does not provide enough data to determine the reason why it decreased in your SSD.
