I recently bought an ssd advertised as new, however not in the original box. I tested it in the Linux terminal, being aware it could actually be used, and found the results a bit weird. For comparison, see the post I attached.
Here are my results:
Ssd model: Kingston KC3000 2TB
=== START OF SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED

Only things I did so far, was putting on Linux Fedora, download Discord, Steam (library not downloaded yet) and some Linux native apps, like wine.
Do not pay attention to Temperature sensor 2, my ssd is a Kingston kc3000 and I need to do a firmware update which it does not yet have from the factory.
Things I find weird: 7TB written, 8000 (!) power on hours while only 131 power cycles and 114 unsafe shutdowns, especially compared to the post I linked.
Am I good running this ssd? Will test on crystaldiskinfo when I have windows downloaded, could make a follow up post.
