I was having some performance issue while a game was trying to load my save game, and I was hearing some repeated noise from my cabinet, so I ran smartctl -a /dev/sdb
and it gave this output
❯ sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb

Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.
Error 111 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 22850 hours (952 days + 2 hours)
When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle.

Does this mean something bad?
smartctl -H /dev/sdb
reports health is good though.
