Media and Data Integrity Errors - hardware

Question

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what these mean. From most people posting about them, there is no more than double digits. However, I have 1051556645921812989870080 Media and Data Integrity Errors on my SK hynix PC711 on my new HP dev one. Thanks!
Here's my entire smartctl output

Answer 1

Encountered a similar SMART reading from the same model.
I'm seeing a reported Media and Data Integrity Errors rate of a value that's over 2 ^ 84.
It could just be an error with its SMART implementation or the utility reading from it.
Converting your reported value of 1051556645921812989870080 to hex, we get 0xdead0000000000000000 big endian and 0x0000000000000000adde little endian.
Similarly, when I convert my value to hex, I get 0xffff0000000000000000 big endian and 0x0000000000000000ffff little endian, where f is just denotes a value other than 0.
I'm going to assume that the Media and Data Integrity Errors value has no actual meaning with regard to real errors. I doubt that both of us would have values that are padded with 16 0's when converted to hex. Something is sending/receiving/parsing bad data.
If you poke around the other reported SMART values in your post, and on my end, some of them don't seem to make much sense, either.
