I have a WD SN530 SSD that passes self-tests with smartctl, but when I install and run an extended test with the SanDisk Dashboard (which has replaced the WD Dashboard) it fails almost immediately. Is this a bug with the Sandisk Dashboard or is there something in the drive that I'm missing with smartctl? Thanks for any advice. smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-w11-b26200] (sf-7.4-1) Copyright (C) 2002-23, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Number:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-1T00-1006 Serial Number:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 22301B801613 Firmware Version:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?HPS2 PCI Vendor/Subsystem ID:? ? ? ? ? ? 0x15b7 IEEE OUI Identifier:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 0x001b44 Total NVM Capacity:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?1,024,209,543,168 [1.02 TB] Unallocated NVM Capacity:? ? ? ? ? ?0 Controller ID:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 1 NVMe Version:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?1.4 Number of Namespaces:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?1 Namespace 1 Size/Capacity:? ? ? ? ? 1,024,209,543,168 [1.02 TB] Namespace 1 Formatted LBA Size:? ? ?512 Namespace 1 IEEE EUI-64:? ? ? ? ? ? 001b44 8b4bd52cf5 Local Time is:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
