"9633546" is the "RAW_VALUE". That may not be the count of ECC errors recovered. Interpretation of RAW_VALUE depends on the drive manufacturer. I know that this seems counter-intuitive. If you google, you will find a bunch of people worried about high numbers here. Some notice it going up faster than the number of reads performed. All you can go on is the VALUE, WORST, and THRESH numbers. They say the drive is fine, trust us. I added "trust us" because the manufacturer's firmware came up with that number in a non-transparent way. On some Seagate drives, people have figured out that certain raw numbers are actually two numbers stuck together: some bits are for one count and some bits are for another.
