I might be paranoid, but SMART has failed to give me any useful info on 3 drives I've had fail in the past year. Two were platter HHDs that I saw the signs of failure before they went and deliberately ran checks on them. The third was an M2 that just suddenly disappeared one day.
SMART may not be trusted when it is clear but could still be useful in cases showing errors. In my case I would happily replace the SSD if it shows any error.
In monsoon in my area due to moisture build up I have had computer behave strangely before, particularly RAM. Cleaning the contacts helped then.
