[smartmontools-support] Odd statistic value, smartctl bug?

[egon at allmail.net]

I have a new KINGSTON SEDC400S37480G. All of the SMART attributes are normal including the uncorrectable error count (which is zero), but the corresponding device statistic value shows 160.  Looking at the database entries for this drive (https://github.com/linuxhw/EnterpriseDrive/tree/master/SSD/Kingston/SEDC400), all of these reports show a similar pattern, though the values appear to vary. Several runs of filling the entire disk with data and verifying the checksums were successful (as was an extended SMART test) and the value did not change. Therefore I assume the disk is fine, but I would like a bit more information if anyone knows what this is about. Thank you.
