Dear Mr. Chattaway,
I understand that you have not been able to complete the SMART extended test on your new Solid State Drive as you get a status code 27.
I would like to inform you that we have checked the provided information and your drive seems to be functioning as normal, if you do not observe any errors in usage you can use it with ease.
You can try connecting the SSD to another SATA/USB port and see if that helps in completing the SMART test.
As an alternative, you can use Crystal Disk Info to run a SMART report so you will be assured that your drive is healthy.
Please let us know should you require further assistance. We remain at your service.

Best regards,

Sally H.
