My two SSDs S.M.A.R.T. info after ~2.5 years

First I bought one, after a while I bought another. Exactly identical Corsair F90 (SandForce 1200 controller, SATA 3Gbps).
For more than two years I've used these in RAID0 configuration on Intel P67 native SATA controller. My new main SSD is a Samsung 840 250GB so I have split the RAID0 and formatted the drives.

Anything to be worried about? And what does it all mean?

What about that ECC Error Rate? Google doesnt turn up much.
SF report it if and how they want, and have never given information in how to interpret it. It's a rate of ECC use, normalized to 100...which means it's pretty much useless, at least to us.

I'm surprised that they've gone through that many power cycles in RAID 0 and haven't had an issue.
174 should be unexpected power losses, too. Not only are they different, but both are fairly high.

Note that 231 should be life left, not temperature.

233 is host writes, so 241/233 should be your WA, unless I'm mistaken (2/3, looks like).

Program fail count, erase fail count, uncorrectable error count, and 231 changing a lot, would be definite signs of it having problems. They're all perfect.

The lower 32 bits of the raw value represent a sector count. The upper 24 bits represent an error count. The normalised values are logarithmic.

Kingston® SF-2000 Based SSD SMART Attributes:

The algorithm appears very similar to Seagate's:

I would suggest that the OP use a better SMART tool, eg smartctl or HDDScan. The current tool is duplicating the attribute name in the Threshold column and thereby registering a false FAIL status.
 
da da da The More You Know...

And, now, I get why some SMART tools default to giving you hex strings.
