I recently installed the latest Ubuntu on my MacBook Air following a SSD failure. After running smartmontools I identified the problem as attribute 173 is failing.



ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 
173 Wear_Leveling_Count 0x0036 100 100 100 Old_age Always FAILING_NOW 11703984196361


How do I interpret this? Does this warning have a strong correlation with actual SSD failure?

  • WHEN_FAILED=FAILING_NOW. ID#173 is a SMART error, I would interpret that as an actual failure. You should read this and cross check with Gnome Disks. Good luck :)
