Each NUC has one SATA disk and one SSD. Most tests use the SSD because the disk has the OS install and I don't want to lose the install when too much testing makes the disk unhappy. My current SSD is Samsung 850 EVO with 120G and one of these became sick.

Other error messages were amusing.
[2273399.254789] Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 3d on CPU 3.
[2273399.254818] Do you have a strange power saving mode enabled?
[2273399.254840] Dazed and confused, but trying to continue
What does smartctl say? I am interested in Wear_Leveling_Count. The raw value is 1656. If that means what I think it means then this device can go to 2000 thanks to 3D TLC NAND (aka 3D V-NAND). The VALUE is 022 and that counts down from 100 to 0 so this device is 80% done and Wear_Leveling_Count might reach 2000. I created a new XFS filesystem on the device, rebooted the server and restarted my test. I don't think I need to replace this SSD today.
sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb1
