What does the THRESH column represent?

Explanation:
The THRESH column shows the failure threshold for that SMART attribute. It’s the minimum normalized value considered acceptable by the drive manufacturer, and you compare VALUE to THRESH to gauge health. If VALUE drops below THRESH, that attribute is regarded as failing, signaling potential drive problems. This isn’t a count of unreadable or remapped sectors—the THRESH is a threshold, while the raw attribute values show the actual numbers.
