Wear Leveling Count SSD Fails

[GunVein]

Hello guys, i'm using Macbook Pro ME294 (512GB SSD) the name of the SSD is Apple SSD SM0512F and i suddenly get an error saying smart status failing and i need to replace my SSD, which is scary

i am having that error for like 6 months or more without any performance drop, everything works fine, i also checked with some software that i don't have any bad sectors, then i'm using samsung magician and i found that the fail status is on the "Wear Leveling Count"

i did not know what that means, i understand that it reached the threshold, the raw data is big, 338432925, current and worst value is 28

is there any fix for this? cause i'm planning to sell my laptop and i don't want the buyer disgusted about this issue, or i need to replace it?

Hey there, GunVein. Welcome to the community!

Wear Leveling Count represents the number of times a memory block has been erased and is directly connected to the SSD's lifetime. So I'd say that you need to RMA the drive. If the laptop is still under warranty, I'd recommend that you contact Apple's customer support to see if you can get the drive replaced.
I don't know how you got the number that high (it's possible that the SSD might be faulty as well), but just for your information, many of the operations, which are OK for HDDs are not OK for SSDs. E.g. defragmentation or using any other type of format, besides quick format and secure erase, as fully formatting an SSD gets the wear leveling count number way up.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.
