This is what I got running a short smartctl test on an SSD drive that was healthy, the most important line is;\\ ''%%177 Wear_Leveling_Count 0x0013 099 099 000 Pre-fail Always - 7%%''\\ about halfway down the list. This shows my wear leveling at 7% which should be okay for now.\\ ## Type ↓ ↓ ↓, User root in ~ on usmifmomlnx001 ## smartctl -t short -a /dev/sda smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.14.0-362.24.1.el9_3.0.1.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-20, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Samsung based SSDs Device Model: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB Serial Number: S2RENX0H619123R LU WWN Device Id: 5 002538 d4101c199 Firmware Version: EMT02B6Q User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes [1.00 TB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Rotation Rate: Solid State Device Form Factor: 2.5 inches TRIM Command: Available Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: ACS-2, ATA8-ACS T13/1699-D revision 4c SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Thu Oct 17 10:52:29 2024 EDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
