Debian crashed on Laptop (Acer Aspire 3, about 4 years old, HDD replaced with ADATA SU650 240GB SSD) and started throwing console errors reading "failed to rotate /var/log/journal: read-only filesystem". It rebooted fine, but a while later refused to load websites and eventually crashed again. Right now, it's working fine. After a quick Google search I installed smartctl to figure out the problem, and though it prints an overall "PASSED", it does have some attributes output "Pre-failed" and I'm not exactly sure how to interpret the rest of the values. Here's the output: smartctl 7.3 2022-02-28 r5338 [x86_64-linux-6.1.0-37-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-22, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Silicon Motion based SSDs Device Model: ADATA SU650 Serial Number: 2N20292G46UJ LU WWN Device Id: 0 000000 000000000 Firmware Version: XD0R6305 User Capacity: 240,057,409,536 bytes [240 GB] Sector Size: 512 bytes logical/physical Rotation Rate: Solid State Device Form Factor: 2.5 inches TRIM Command: Available, deterministic Device is: In smartctl database 7.3/5319 ATA Version is: ACS-3, ATA8-ACS T13/1699-D revision 6 SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Sun Jun 29 21:36:52 2025 -03 SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay. I'd greatly appreciate some advice on what these values mean and what can be done about them. I know that "Old_age" means the device is worn and "Pre-fail" means it's about to give, but I don't really know if this reflects normal wear, lack of maintenance, or is recoverable from. Thanks in advance!
