sosodevKDE randomly warns that my SSD is going to die?
lolThe SMART stats in question and SSD model name would definitely help in answering that question.

It’s a relatively recent 1TB Samsung 980.
Media and Data Integrity Errors: 1
Is most likely the reason for the alert. But as long as this number does not increase it is fine.
StarDreamerBe careful with that specific ssd. There’s a firmware bug that can switch it to read-only mode with no fix afterwards. I don’t recognize your firmware version so I don’t think it’s one of the patched ones (ones with first char > 4 are patched I think)
Well that’s worrying… thanks for the heads up!
JumutaThe issue was with the 980 pro / 990 pro, the 980 is a very different SSD and isn’t affected
Some of the newer Samsung Drives have bad firmware.
vshDownload Samsung magician and check its health.
I’d recommend you to make backups either way. I’ve had a SSD with SMART status “good” die before, so don’t take any chances!
This happened to me a few weeks ago and the pain is still fresh. Please tell us your data is safely backed up, OP.
Always have backups. “If you only have one, you have none”.
Yeah, I keep everything important backed up. I’m definitely fine if it dies. I’m just curious really.
seaQueueDoes your drive do any weird bit packing in its smart data? Some of mine used to do weird shit like store read errors plus total sectors read packed in one field which constantly threw errors until I added the proper data format in a config file. Without specifying a data format smartmon just assumed the drive was throwing absolutely huge numbers of errors and threw warnings every run.
Try googling the specific error message, or your drive model plus the error and see if anything pops up.
Joe Bidetas said before: backup first. the rest afterwards…
GustavoMYour SSD: *steps on a lego
Plasma: “I’m sorry, sir… but you will die soon.”
FaizalRWhat model of SSD are you using? P lease post the warning prompt.
