I bought 6 SSD of this model

- [Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 560 MB/s - WDS100T3B0A](https://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-SA510-Internal-Solid/dp/B09ZYQ84CM)

so far one was installed due a tight time due work

I have a situation about this SSD reported at (pls read it to be able to see the Figures):

- [What does “SMART ATA Error Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.” mean?](https://itsfoss.community/t/what-does-smart-ata-error-log-structure-error-invalid-smart-checksum-mean/12164)

This SSD is working in a Toshiba’s laptop and has installed Linux Ubuntu 22.04

To have a better idea about the situation - I did do a research in the web and is suggested work with the `smartctl` command and `GSMartControl` GUI

As follows the reports:

**sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda1**

```bash
sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda1
smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-6.5.0-35-generic] (local build)
Copyright (C) 2002-20, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

```

**sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda2**

```bash
sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda2
smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-6.5.0-35-generic] (local build)

=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===

```

So far all seem fine

**sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda1**

**_Sorry for the long outputs_**

I am not an expert about this data report, so I am providing detailed information for you. According with the long output, Should I assume the SSD is passing away? So far my main concern is the following:

```bash
Warning! SMART ATA Error Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
SMART Error Log Version: 1
No Errors Logged

```

and

```bash
Warning! SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Structure error: invalid SMART checksum.
SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Version: 1 (16 sectors)
No Errors Logged

```

**Note** : Pls, if you find some important point in the result let me know

```

**Note** : remember in the link of the other post, through the `SMART DATA & Self-Tests...` tool, about the id with 234 (`Uncorrectable ECC Count`) its value is always increasing, so far with **16xxx** sectors, so from that value is reported here the

```auto
SMART Extended Comprehensive Error Log Version: 1 (16 sectors)

```

So far the count is around 22xxx (therefore 22 sectors)

Again, is my SSD passing away? I am not sure what to do, in these days I am going to go to the hardware provider, to apply the warranty if is necessary, so I am want be very sure the information he is going to give me matches with your answer(s).

Thanks for your understanding
