Public bug reported: The SMART info for a Samsung 830 SSD (512GB) shows SMART ID #235 as "Good Block Rate". However, according to Samsung documentation, this value represents "Power Recovery Count":
"ID # 235 Power Recovery Count A count of the number of sudden power off cases. If there is a sudden power off, the firmware must recover all of the mapping and user data during the next power on. This is a count of the number of times this has happened."
