So many techs skip SMART data on SSDs and it bit me on a Dell in Reno

I keep seeing techs pull a drive, run CrystalDiskInfo, glance at the temp and hours, and call it healthy without ever touching the SMART attributes. Last month a client brought in a Dell Latitude from their Reno office because it kept freezing, and the drive read fine on a quick test. I ran a full attribute dump and saw Reallocated Sector Count climbing plus a Wear Leveling Count that told me the NAND was basically toast. The owner said three other shops had cleared it and reinstalled Windows, which just wasted everyone's time. I swapped in a cheap SATA SSD and the freezing stopped. What gets me is that SMART is free, built into the drive, and takes two minutes, yet a lot of guys I know only look at it when something already failed. Am I the only one who thinks we should be logging these attributes on every intake, or do some of you have a benchmark number where you just replace the drive?
