Is my SSD drive going bad? SMART error

Is there something wrong with my SSD drive ? It's still under warranty so I can replace it ;)

SMART Error Log Version: 1
ATA Error Count: 1
        CR = Command Register [HEX]
        FR = Features Register [HEX]
        SC = Sector Count Register [HEX]
        SN = Sector Number Register [HEX]
        CL = Cylinder Low Register [HEX]
        CH = Cylinder High Register [HEX]
        DH = Device/Head Register [HEX]
        DC = Device Command Register [HEX]
        ER = Error register [HEX]
        ST = Status register [HEX]
Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as
DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,
SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.

Error 1 occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 1537 hours (64 days + 1 hours)
  When the command that caused the error occurred, the device was active or idle
.

  After command completion occurred, registers were:
  ER ST SC SN CL CH DH
  -- -- -- -- -- -- --
  84 51 00 00 00 00 00

  Commands leading to the command that caused the error were:
  CR FR SC SN CL CH DH DC   Powered_Up_Time  Command/Feature_Name
  -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --  ----------------  --------------------
  ec 00 00 00 00 00 00 00      00:19:35.000  IDENTIFY DEVICE
  e5 00 00 00 00 00 00 ff      00:19:34.500  CHECK POWER MODE
  b0 da 00 00 4f c2 00 00      00:17:57.100  SMART RETURN STATUS
  ef 02 00 00 00 00 a0 00      00:17:57.100  SET FEATURES [Enable write cache]
  ef aa 00 00 00 00 a0 00      00:17:57.100  SET FEATURES [Enable read look-ahea
d]

More generally: Are there specific techniques for SMART on SSD drives?

"Here's a wall of text, do I have a problem?" isn't one of the best presentation methods. In future questions, try to identify what it is you saw within the output that caused you to be concerned. – Andrew B – 2013-03-31T17:50:57.627

Look at the error message at the end. – Spacedust – 2013-03-31T17:55:27.287

1I can find the error. My point was more that if your presentation requires people to search the entire output to find the message that may be concerning you, many people aren't going to take the time to look for it. – Andrew B – 2013-03-31T17:56:46.190

Edited my message. Please check again. – Spacedust – 2013-03-31T17:59:28.197

That's a little bit better. Note that the detailed output wasn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just a good idea to identify outside of it what message was concerning you so that people have a point of reference. – Andrew B – 2013-03-31T18:01:30.220

Actually I found the full output very useful. – Michael Hampton – 2013-03-31T18:17:21.660

How do you access smartctl? I posted that as a question: http://superuser.com/questions/884067/how-do-i-access-smartctl-on-windows-7

>1 Short offline Completed without error 00% 1707 -< – Spacedust – 2013-04-07T22:15:31.777

Did any other attributes change? That might help identify possible issues. – Elrond – 2013-04-08T21:51:01.467

No, only that one ;) – Spacedust – 2013-04-08T22:14:44.963

>1 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 1711 -< – Spacedust – 2013-04-08T22:15:35.107

That sounds good. I'd say, the above error was temporary. Maybe the cable? Keep an eye on the smartctl -a output and watch for new errors. Also take a snapshot once a while so you can compare the attributes. (ps: Can you accept and/or upvote my answer?) – Elrond – 2013-04-08T22:30:20.887
