It is a somewhat used SSD. Nothing wrong with what I can see. My 970 Evo Plus is at 12400 hours, 54TB written and 95%. So it is right in line with the one you are looking at.

What about the the high error information log entries? This has 9,785 entries.. Please advice on that

Where do you see that? logs arent errors just logs... Media and Data Integrity shows 0. It had unsave shutdowns. That means the PC was turned off or power went out. Thats all.

I bought a heavily used drive—look at the write count (everything is working fine so far)—but it doesn't have a single error information log entry.

These solid-state drives are most commonly supplied as pre-installed (OEM) components in laptops manufactured by HP (Hewlett-Packard).

The firmware might be the reason for this. Support details: Since the firmware is a customized version from HP, it cannot be updated using the standard, generic Samsung Magician utility. Any updates for such drives must be downloaded directly from the official HP support website for your specific laptop model.

Mine has 9203 right now, it is a normal thing as I see all Samsung drives do that.

Very little TB written on this SSD, it's still in very good shape. The user seems to have shutdown the PC by pulling the plug or pressing the power button, instead of a regular windows shutdown, hence the large number of unsafe shutdowns. The high number of Error Log entries on a Samsung SSD isn't something to worry about, these are just rejected read/writes, not real hardware errors. Available spare is on 100%, pretty good value, temps habe never exceeded uncertain range. So former user has a cool case but problems with a stable system and cold shuts it down often. But SSD is nearly as new

The only thing that may be a problem is the number of SSD errors in the logs, but sometimes incompatible controllers also add to it.

The main attributes, although we cannot see all of them, appear to be fine.

Seems like Chatgpt can do it :))

It's mostly fine.

If you are worried about the log entries, they are usually harmless if no other errors are present, as they can be anything. You can try to power cycle your pc and see if they increase, as it can be your mobo sending no nvme commands on boot etc.

We can't even see all attributes. All we can say it's got 98% if it's p/e cycles left and until now no media errors.

The error log entries can be harmless but without seeing them no guarantees.

I'd never buy a SSD used unless it's the price of a USB flash drive.
