Is this wear on Samsung SSD excessive?

[lockh33d]

5 months ago, I bought a brand new Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 250GB. I have been using it in a ThinkPad T420s Laptop.

I just checked its SMART report and it looks like this:

I am particularly worried about parameter 177. From what I understand, it means the SSD has only 33% of life left in it.
Is this what that means? Is this normal? Should I return it under warranty?

All looks normal.
Oh, and 177 does NOT mean you have 33% life left.
It means you had 33 P/E counts so far.

 

[hhhd1]

I belived your SSD is rated for about 2000 P/E cycles, you only used 33, so you used only 33/2000 = 1.65% of its rated life

the '177' value = '098',
which means you have 98% of life left.

Now, that's a helpful answer.

You also have 2 CRC errors...while minor, a CRC error happens when there's an issue with the SATA port or SATA cable.

But note that this value does not decrease or reset, it stays for a lifetime. If the problem is still present, the value will increase. If it's not increasing, there is no problem =)
