That explains why RST thought the drive was dying while CrystalDiskInfo said everything was fine. It appears that RST flags devices once they reach a threshold value, while CrystalDiskInfo only does so once the device has surpassed the threshold value. The "Threshold," or the value below which the drive deems itself near its end of life, is 10. The key SMART parameter RST was flagging was the B1 Wear Leveling Count one, which starts at 100 when the drive is brand new and decreases throughout its life.
