I bought a used S3500 Intel SSD from ebay, and the drives shows error in SMART. Is this error serious and worth returning the drive?

Code:
# smartctl -a /dev/da15

Try running a a few big benchmarks on it and see if the numbers go up. Personally, I would replace it.

SSD disks have some specific SMART attributes which send signals about the state of disk memory cells. SSD smart error can be caused by various factors, such as drive age, physical damage to drive, and heat. The latter two factors affect SSDs to a much smaller extent than they do hard drives, but age can cause both to fail eventually. If your SSD is in under warranty, then I will suggest you get it replace or contact the manufacturer for further check.
