+Warwagon MVC Posted February 17, 2015 MVC Share Posted February 17, 2015 How long do SSD's last? Well they have no moving parts so there is nothing to fail there. So I thought, lets find my most abused SSD drive and run SSDlife on it. Unfortunately this is an old SSD drive so it does have the smart attributes to show how much data has been written to it. This particular drive is my reinstall drive. I use it when I reinstall an OS so the installs go 3x faster. This drive has had vista and Windows 7 installed on it more times than I can count. So no trim support some of the time.! This drive has had A LOT of data written to it. So it's a shame I can't see how much. The screenshot looks like crap, because my sata dock couldn't read the smart data, I hooked it up direct to my spair repair workstation and ran SSD life via bartpe and took the screen shot over my IP KVM yes, I think I need to update the firmare of that drive. So here is the SSD life portable addition http://ssd-life.com/SSDLifePortablePro.zip So lets see your most abused SSD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Norris Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 One of my test machines -- I wouldn't say I abuse but it does get its fair share of beatings with reinstalls and such, frequently dumping random OS ____ via images, cloning client systems, etc on a fairly regular basis. 18TB? Ow.. ok maybe I do abuse it a bit, but I'm happy with the durability of the Samsung SSD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted February 17, 2015 Subscriber¹ Share Posted February 17, 2015 my main windows drive is 99% however the most abused drive is in a casing and connects through usb3, since my pc is small and barely has any space inside. ssdlife does not show it. how can i check it's health?

JustGeorge Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I really want to go SSD, but I need to see 500GB drives in the $150 range before I make the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pookie62 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I really want to go SSD, but I need to see 500GB drives in the $150 range before I make the jump. Pretty close already. Fry's had Samsung 500GB drivers for US$199 this weekend. Inertia 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted February 17, 2015 MVC Share Posted February 17, 2015 I wouldn't say the SSD is abused, it's the drive which has my OS and Apps installed on so is used every day. For some reason it says work time is unsupported, however the SSD is around a year and a half old and has been used just bout every day. So with such long estimated life times, why do people not trust SSDs / say they will die a lot quicker than hard drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomasse Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have my SSD about 1.5 years. And, did you really took a photo of your computer screen??? You have to learn some windows shortcuts, buddy... Alt+PrintScreen gets you a screenshot of your active window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted February 17, 2015 Author MVC Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have my SSD about 1.5 years. And, did you really took a photo of your computer screen??? You have to learn some windows shortcuts, buddy... Alt+PrintScreen gets you a screenshot of your active window! I know, I was going to do it on my Bartpe, but I didn't have any application to drop the photo into to save it. So I accessed the screen via my IP KVM from my main workstation, and I didn't want to do an alt print screen there because you would have saw ALOT more of the Raritan Remote Client than just that remote screen. So I just used the Snip tool. I didn't actually take a picture of my screen with my camera. Its just the quality of screen over the IP KVM (which by the way is sooo nice). I used BartPE so I could hook the drive up direct on my spare repair workstation over on my counter. It's a spare drive (Not active in any one machine). I tried putting it in a sata dock on my main workstation but the smart data wasn't available via the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
