On my ThinkPad Yoga, HD Sentinel main interface shows my Samsung SSD Health as only 'Acceptable' ('The health is determined by SSD specific S.M.A.R.T. attribute(s): #177 Wear Leveling Count'), though under the S.M.A.R.T. Attributes tab that has a green tick, Status OK. and CrystalDiskInfo v8.2 shows Health Status as Good 100%, including the Wear Leveling Count. Both agree the Wear Leveling Count is 32, Threshold 5. Probably no cause for concern, but just wondering why HD Sentinel shows only 'Acceptable' in main interface?
