Have you found any real value to instructing in-service SSDs to run SMART self-tests, vs simply observing and tracking the SMART indicators over time?

- sn 7y agoIt's not as valuable in and of itself as monitoring SMART counters. We've only had a single SSD report failures during a long test, and it also reported an uncorrectable error. However, not finishing the test is a good proxy for if a drive is overloaded and less able to perform routine housekeeping.
