Should I be worried about my SSD?

Hi,

In my PC I have an Adata SX 900 256gb that's less than a year old. Today I decided to do a smart test. To do this I have used Gsmartcontrol as I am on linux.

Below I have included a screenshot of the output window.

The soft read error rate and the media wear out indicator are quite high.

Furthermore; the gsmartcontrol gives the following information on these values.

Soft read error rate: "Uncorrected read errors reported to the operating system (raw value). If the value is non-zero, you should backup your data. Note: the drive has a non-zero raw value. But there is no SMART warning yet. This could be an indicator of future failures and/or potential data loss in bad sectors."

Media wear out indicator: "Number of cycles the NAND media has experienced. The normalized value decreases linearly from 100 to 1 as the average erase cycle count increases from 0 to the maximum rated cycles. Notice: the drive has less than half of it's life left."

Does it need replacement?

Drive should be under warranty. I'd get in contact with ADATA about a RMA

I haveĀ  contacted ADATA and they asked me to send a screenshot of the full report. One day later I got this response:

"Hello, Thank you for supporting ADATA products.
Please refer to the attachment,there is no definition with 233,it's a blank entry.So it'll not affect the life of the product.Thanks!
Best Regards,ADATA Technology"

So... is my SSD doing just fine or what?

I suppose so. Giving a second look, it appears all the read errors were corrected, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong per say. SSD's can give some wonky readings because a lot of the tools were meant for mechanical disks. I have an external hard drive enclosure, and I've connected to SSD's to it. One, the temp reads 0c, the other reads 128c (Crucial M4 and OCz Agility 3 respectively). Just an example of what I mean. I'm sure if I plug in a mechanical disk, it will actually give me an accurate reading.
