Subject: [smartmontools-support] WD SSD smartctl passes,
 but Sandisk dashboard fails
Message-ID: <afac1f15-410c-4df0-b59d-792d405c29bf@computerconnectionltd.com>

Hi all,
 ? ? 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.
