Samsung 825

Anyone have any info on how to tell if these drives are on their way out?

I got a couple for a deal, but one is showing 6 re-allocated sectors, the other is showing 100+ CRC errors.
Available reserve space is 130.

Media Wearout Indicator -- How do I know what this huge # means?

I couldn't find in the manual acceptable values for any of these to indicate actual usage other than power on hours which is around 10k.

If you have a windows system handy, but a copy of HD Sentinel Pro. It knows how to interpret SMART data from almost all types of SSDs and will give you an assessment (% remaining life and estimated days). Like all interpretations of SMART data YMMV, but it is the best tool I know of.

Thanks I'll give that a shot.

For anyone wondering here's a coupon to bring it down to $17: HDSP-H1-GA79612
