WD WDS SSDs show incorrect Media Wearout Indicator (WDS400T2B0A)
| Reported by: | jeyare | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | minor | Milestone: | undecided |
| Component: | drivedb | Version: | 7.3 |
| Keywords: | ssd | Cc: |
Description
almost one year old drives show MWI (230) with value 001 and hex: 0x015d011e015d
what is wrong, because it’s not 1% of the lifespan, it’s 99%
"-v 230,hex48,Media_Wearout_Indicator "
Model Family: WD Blue / Red / Green SSDs
Device Model: WDC WDS400T2B0A-00SM50
Serial Number: 1926D7420114
LU WWN Device Id: 5 001b44 4a8e02f24
Firmware Version: 411030WD
same found in many post over internet
Issue:
Synology NAS read this information as 1% lifespan …. wrong
Win10, Linux OSs as 99% … expected and they categorize the same drives as health (native WD tool or smartctl)
when MWI is watched as one of the health indicators, then system evaluated drives status unhealthy, you can imagine all consequences.
What is your point? Thx.
J.

Most thresholds are missing. The normalized value is possibly increasing from 0 instead of decreasing from 100. This is a drive firmware issue which cannot be fixed by a drive database entry. From the ATA standards point of view, it is not a firmware bug because the SMART data structure was never part of any ATA standard.

Device Statistics usually contains the correct Percentage Used Endurance Indicator but unfortunately this SATA driver does not implement the required functionality to read this log.
There are two alternatives which might disable the false interpretation of attribute 230 by Synology NAS:
Rename the attribute:
-v 230,hex48,Bogus_Media_Wearout_Ind
Move VALUE WORST to RAW_VALUE:
-v 230,hex64,Media_Wearout_Indicator

Thanks Christian for your valuable support.
Gents from Synology support spent 3 weeks responding to the MWI issue (+10 iterations). Instead, they labeled these 6 same SSDs as unhealthy (by the last DSM7 system update, never in previous system’s version), and subsequently they wrote that the drive is incompatible with their NASes (which is stup.d). Thanks to this upgrade the volume being degraded. Similar story with the support on the WD side - they still looking for reasons not to do so, even though I asked them for a clear definition of the MWI algorithm for normalization value. Instead they asked me for information about ‘msinfo’ (Win OS) even though the NAS contains FreeBSD (what they know from me).
Thanks again. Great support from you. I will check the proposed steps.

You're welcome.
Apparently only few WD SSD models and/or firmware versions are affected.
Tickets for similar drives which correctly show attribute 230 with a VALUE WORST of 100 100: #767, #771, #845, #980, #1048, #1162, #1073, #1169, #1198, #1321.
There are two exceptions:
WDC WDS400T1R0A-68A4W0/411000WR (#1450, #1601).
WDC WDS400T2B0A-00SM50/411030WD (this ticket).
Perhaps we could add a separate drivedb entry to handle these cases if it is known how the bogus behavior of Synology NAS and others could be prevented.
Leaving the ticket open as undecided for now.

Christian,
1. test
Rename the attribute:
-v 230,hex48,Bogus_Media_Wearout_Ind
result:
This option stops DSM from sampling the Estimated lifespan value displayed on the DSM GUI and rather than the inverted % value it shows a '- instead.
Attached: Screenshot 1
Verdict: doesn't work
2. test
Move VALUE WORST to RAW_VALUE:
-v 230,hex64,Media_Wearout_Indicator
result:
The second retains the Estimated lifespan value but changes the value to 0% triggering the Damaged / Critical warnings.
Attached: Screenshot 2
Verdict: doesn't work
so it must be tricky to find an accurate value to prevent drive attribute reading by the Synology DSM system.
Thx for a help

Screenshot1.png shows the expected behavior of 2. test, not 1. test:
VALUE and WORST are both returned as --- and both appear in RAW_VALUE as least significant bytes (0x0160011e01600101). Originally introduced for the unusual 64-bit format of very old Indilinx SSD controllers, this should prevent any interpretation of the VALUE.
comment:11 by , 23 months ago
Chris,
thx for the help. The issue is temporarily resolved (till the next Synology system update) by:
-v 230,hex48,Disabled_Media_Wearout_Ind
The solution from WD: exchanging your SSDs for new ones is an absolutely terrible approach because it won't solve anything.
The solution from Synology: this not supported SSD in our NAS is like a head in the sand.
Thx again.

I'm just curious.
For a correct reading from drivedb.h it is recommended to read:
- attribute ID, then attribute NAME?
- or just attribute name only?
Because if I look at drivedb.h, no one there uses ID230 for MWI, only WD SSDs
- however, Seagate uses "-v 231,hex56,SSD_Life_Left " - dif. ID and NAME for MWI
- your general table contains: "-v 233, raw48, Media_Wearout_Indicator, SSD"
- Intel also uses "-v 233, raw48, Media_Wearout_Indicator, SSD"
- same for Samsung
I understand that compliance with drive vendors is more of a fairy tale.
This means that if someone wants to integrate SMART into a system, he must not only have an up-to-date DB from you, but he must also understand that if he measures MWI on Intel, it should use an Attrib ID-233, for Seagate ID-231, for WD ID-230, for Samsung ...
or be sure that there is 100% accurately written the NAME field = Media_Wearout_Indicator. What isn§t true from the Seagate side.
Thx

SMART attributes were never part of any standard. The related command SMART READ DATA was declared obsolete in ATA ACS-4 (2015).
In practice, SMART attributes are vendor and device (and sometime firmware version) specific. HDDs use a common set (except newer Helium-related entries), but SSD vendors continue to invent new attribute sets.
Monitoring tools interested in MWI should consult Percentage Used Endurance Indicator from Device Statistics (smartctl -l devstat) if supported. Otherwise a drive database entry and proper interpretation is required.
Please provide sample
smartctl -x ...output of an affected device.
