I'm having a different S.M.A.R.T. issue, in that the S.M.A.R.T. data in CrystalDisk and HD Tune looks fine, but the bios and Windows 7 x64 are both telling me that S.M.A.R.T. is reporting that my CMFSSD-256GBG2D is bad. Bios does that "your drive is bad, click F1 to continue to boot" thing, and Windows throws a window warning me to immediately back up my data since my drive is about to fail. I understand all the discussion about utilities not understanding S.M.A.R.T. data since it isn't standardized, but I have to assume that at minimum the binary "drive good" vs "drive bad" bit is pretty standardized, and corsair's firmware is reporting that bit as "drive bad". My question is whether there is some known glitch in the CMFSSD-256GBG2D version VBM19C1Q firmware that causes the drive to report bad in S.M.A.R.T. incorrectly, and if so, if there is a way to correct it. If crystaldisk or HD Tune had reported any bad data, I'd be pretty sure there was a problem, but the absence of any reported problem in those utilities makes me wonder if the S.M.A.R.T. error is itself in error. Here are the screenshots from the S.M.A.R.T. data screens in the utilities: http://shuster.com/tmp/cd1.jpg http://shuster.com/tmp/cd2.jpg http://shuster.com/tmp/hddtune500.jpg http://shuster.com/tmp/hdtune255.jpg I've asked for an RMA already, but if the drive is actually working fine, I'd rather reset the S.M.A.R.T. status (if possible). I've got almost two years left on the warranty, so if it is actually defective, it will have plenty of time under warranty to fail again and get RMA'd. Also, I note that the older version of Crystaldisk appears to warn about the wear leveling count. Maybe that is the piece that is failing.
