SSD Smart info

I have purchased a suspect SSD SanDisk x300s for a small server all diagnostic programs are telling me it's 100% health. In all diagnostic programs

I cant see how this is correct as it's had about 111tb written and 114tb read to it and the suspect value is the power on hours is 2 hours with 44 power on counts it is also stating

I know this cant be right could the seller reset all of the values to trick the health status?

Sandisk X300 512GB is 8 years old with older firmware probably was modified by seller to changed SMART data. I noticed it passed 111 TBW so SSD may failed after passed 80 TBW accorded to datasheet.

The default raw values 16 [HEX] in screenshot was useless. Can you please click on Function/Advanced Feature/Raw Values/10 [DEC] and take screenshot of it.

The firmware on screenshot was old X2230001, the recently firmware on internet I found was X3542012.

I recommend you to download Western Digital Dashboard and update X300 firmware to latest version that could be higher than X3542012.

Drive health calculations are notoriously unreliable and depending on the drive firmware, the utility might not read the raw values correctly, especially as you have a rather old drive there. I've had SSDs with bad sectors and a bazillion errors that still show as healthy.

The important part with your drive, is that as AthlonXP1800 has noted, you've exceeded the warranty in how much data has been written to it. That doesn't mean it will die imminently, but it tells you that it is well-used (though not outrageous for 8 years).
