The storage device SanDisk Extreme Pro is likely to fail soon!

It is false positive error about SMART failing value.

On desktop it shows notification UI by mistake.

The problem is not in smartmontools. It is a problem of the disk firmware. And only the manufacturer knows, whether it is critical or not.

Perc_Avail_Resrvd_Space reaching 0 means, that the drive went completely out of spare blocks, and in the next occurrence of a weak sector, it will fail to relocate the failing area.

Anyway, smartmontools has a database that makes possible to ignore confirmed firmware bugs.

We do not release the database updates as an online update, unless there is a business case for that. Users of community products can update this database directly from the upstream by the command called as root:

update-smart-drivedb

Once the upstream releases the database, just run the command, and you should get your error hidden.
