Hi there,
For a long time already, I've been noticing Intel SSD X25-M 120 GB (and possibly also 320) has got incorrect 'power on' count hours in S.M.A.R.T. report. I'm running my Montevina based ThinkPads (one X25-M, the second with 320) for many hours each day, yet the count kept suspiciously low.
The other day I had spare time and run following experiment:
-took a note about power on count at morning and let my machine run for all day and night long (no sleep/hibernation mode)
-took a note again next morning
I've done this twice and records are following:
-first morning: 1144 hours
-second morning: 1144 hours
-third morning: 1145 hours
(see attached screenshots)
Obviously 1 of its "hour" is longer than regular day.

According to your information (see https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18455 ), my drive has got latest firmware.
Thank you,
