The Media Wear out indicator suddenly went from 11 to 655371.
This is on a Western Digital Blue 3D SSD.
If I select Display data field(low word) then I shows 11.
I will attach a png to show details.
Thanks in advance.

This is NOT a bug/problem in the Hard Disk Sentinel software. I wonder why you post it in "bug reports" ?

It is completely normal and expected behaviour. No need to open a new topic.
Please see

which clearly describes the same situation.
