^ SMART attribute 177 increased yesterday to 14 giving a more respectable WA figure, but I’m still not 100% convinced that it is recording P/E cycles. Samsung support stated: “The raw value on this attribute is how many times it can prolong the life of a specific block” , which might explain why it could appear erratic.
It might refer to something like a write combining event that was able to prevented a block erase. I’ll continue to monitor until it gets to 15 to see how things progress, but somehow I don't think SMART attribute 177 is quite figured out just yet.
