This is an OCZ Vertex SSD. I’m told that the first value (raw read error rate) is irrelevant for SSDs. I’m getting a lot of “WRITE FPDMA QUEUED” errors in terminal (why I’m in terminal is another issue, I tried changing the kernel and now it won’t run the old kernel and the new one is not compatible with Mint 20).
The OS has been behaving oddly (3+ second delay on mouse clicks some of the time, ssh password prompt is sometimes delayed by several seconds). I suspect this “WRITE FPDMA QUEUED” is the issue.
This machine was previously running Mint 19 with no issues. But a couple of weeks I moved and had to switch the machine over to using wifi instead of ethernet. Ran into issues connecting so, long story short, here I am in Mint 20 with 3 problems (no wifi, hard disk, ethernet cable running across my floor) instead of 1.
Tried the solutions here. No luck.
This is a bookshelf system, an MSI Cubi, so I can’t switch SATA ports or anything like that. Plus, it seems unlikely to be a hardware issue since it coincided with changing the OS.
Am I missing something obvious in the health check?
