Device data for Plextor M5S 128G SSD

[dword1511]

Sorry I am supposed to post this to the mailing list according to the wiki, but I really do not want to subscribe the list.

The device seems to have power-on hours in unit of 10-hours or so (I have used this for days without stop and it only shows 24), and it is said Total_LBAs_Written/Read is in 64MB, but no one knows for sure...

Please post smartctl output again, but as attachment.

Sorry for messing up. Now after some vm.drop_caches and dd I can determine the "242 Total_LBAs_Read" attribute has a unit of 32MiB. Write should be the same. As for the power on hours, it might be either a special design or a firmware bug similar to the one found on M5 Pro: ​http://www.plextoramericas.com/index.php/forum/27-ssd/8180-px-256m5p-firmware-105-bug
