Is my SSD failing?

Hello,
I understand that SSDs rarely fail, however, it seemed concerning when I came across this number as I was looking at S.M.A.R.T. statistics:

Reported Uncorrectable Errors: 77684

Is this normal? My other SSD (different brand though) shows 0.

Thanks,

Haver you ever seen that number change? Does it reset to zero when you restart?

Assuming you're on Windows, try this:
wmic diskdrive get status, model, mediatype
in Command Prompt. If the status reads "OK," you're probably fine. S.M.A.R.T. data can be inconsistently measured by different manufacturers. What SSD models do you have?
