Question CrystalDiskInfo Question

[BlazingAngels]

I was curious if my drives were running ok and one of my SSD's says its good in CrystalDiskInfo but it has bunch of these vendor specific attributes which has a blue dot behind them. I not sure if this good or bad but I wondering what does it mean?
Here's a screenshot below.

Vendor specific means that it has no idea what is being tracked by the vendor in that field.
Have you tried checking the drive with the vendors tool?

As above states. Vendor Specific effectively means that CrystalDiskInfo can't identify what the attribute is.
At face value, it doesn't overly matter, the health of your drive appears perfectly fine.

But to be safe, testing it with manufacturer specific software will confirm. For WD you can use SSD Dashboard or WD Diagnostic Tool.

A lot of CrystalDiskInfo that might pertain to and be displayed for spinning drives is not present when using SSDs...

These attribute lists might give some idea as to the meanings of the SMART attributes (A5 is not listed):

FWIW, I suspect that the raw value of attribute 0xA5 consists of 3 components ...

00EF048D0451 -> 0x00EF + 0x048D + 0x0451
