I’m using KDE Neon with the latest version of Plasma. Sometimes I get a warning that my SSD has poor health and may die soon. When I check the SMART stats the drive seems fairly healthy. Is this just a Plasma bug?

It’s a relatively recent 1TB Samsung 980.

The issue was with the 980 pro / 990 pro, the 980 is a very different SSD and isn’t affected
Well that’s worrying… thanks for the heads up!
Download Samsung magician and check its health.
Some of the newer Samsung Drives have bad firmware.
