[poiuty]

Hi, kingston ssd uv300 Runtime_Bad_Block => FAILING_NOW => 393217
And this value increase. So, it`s real bad ssd drive?
Or it`s normal increase value for this ssd model?

Please don't use tracker for support questions. Use mailing list instead.

Regarding your question: Attributes look sane. Names may be incorrect because drive is not in database.

The RAW values may have any vendor specific meaning. A large value does not necessarily indicate a problem.

FAILING_NOW is printed by smartctl because VALUE 100 is less or equal THRESHold 100. Firmware possibly returns a bogus threshold.
