"According to smartctl, there's nothing wrong with this drive." appearing on system shutdown

br flag

I installed a fresh copy of Kubuntu 22.04 on a brand new 500Gb PNY CS900 SSD. I've been noticing a bunch of the following errors on system shutdown, and they're a bit worrying:

...Apr 22 15:34:07 sluggo kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 110924048 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x80700 phys_seg 17 prio class 0...

According to smartctl, there's nothing wrong with this
drive.

During shutdown of the machine I noticed them scroll by, so I went back and did a journalctl -b and scrolled down to see the item I listed above.

smartctl monitors the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard drives.

There aren't any errors here. The output tells you:

According to smartctl, there's nothing wrong with this 
drive.

So unless you're encountering an actual problem, this is a non-issue and your drive health is fine.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
