Actually, I'm pretty sure it means the opposite   8-}

It's my understanding that the "Raw" value on them is pretty much
roughly the actual count of levelled drive writes, and the cooked
"Value" (/worst, though that doesn't make a difference on that
attribute) winds up basically meaning "percent of rated life left"[0].
So you've got ~200 drive writes, and have used about 17% of its life.


On a 250GB 840 Evo I have, in somewhat easier use than being
poundriered senseless:

ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME          FLAGS    VALUE WORST THRESH FAIL RAW_VALUE
177 Wear_Leveling_Count     PO--C-   095   095   000    -    57

It's in a mirror with a similarly sized MX100, which (with its
different attributes; can't be consistent, y'know) says

202 Percent_Lifetime_Used   P---CK   095   095   000    -    5

which agrees; I've only got 19/20ths of their lifespan to go before I
gotta cough up umpty-dozens of dollars to replace them.



[0] For most SMART attributes, the cooked 'value' actually starts at
    100 and counts down, with the Threshold level being where it
    starts claiming to be deeply unhappy.
