I’m using KDE Neon with the latest version of Plasma. Sometimes I get a warning that my SSD has poor health and may die soon. When I check the SMART stats the drive seems fairly healthy. Is this just a Plasma bug?

    I’d recommend you to make backups either way. I’ve had a SSD with SMART status “good” very suddenly die before, so don’t take any chances!

    Does your drive do any weird bit packing in its smart data? Some of mine used to do weird shit like store read errors plus total sectors read packed in one field which constantly threw errors until I added the proper data format in a config file. Without specifying a data format smartmon just assumed the drive was throwing absolutely huge numbers of errors and threw warnings every run.

    Try googling the specific error message, or your drive model plus the error and see if anything pops up.
