Ive had high failure rate of Kingston drives compared to all others I've used. I think all the other brands were WD, SanDisk, Samsung, Adata and OEM drives in laptops that I have had put in as upgrade options.. these were mostly Samsung as far a I know.
Some of the Kingstons died on OS install, and didn't even get into service. This is in an educational environment, approx. 300 - 400 drives, given a bit of a workout as you could imagine with poor shutdown procedures, laptops going flat and users shutting lids etc.
I have not done any real study, but Kingstons I will never buy.
check for any firmware updates. It may be that you can ignore these values, maybe look on other forums where the drive is discussed in depth, if there is any.
