Elliot B. Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I bought my drive Kingston 64GB SSDNow V Series SSD in September 2010 (just over three years ago). I've had this a few times recently: My computer mouse would respond and current programs will sometimes appear (such as word processors) but opening new things caused a BSOD. This led me to believe it was the above drive as it's my boot drive. EDIT: Checking BlueScreenView, it appears AsrVDrive.exe and ntoskrnl.exe caused the recent KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR /PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD. AsrVDrive.exe is something to do with my ASRock motherboard :s Hard Drive Sentinel shows: SSDlife Pro shows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decebalvs Rex Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Quite a short life it had. I wonder if you do a chkdsk in Windows what it will show you. Anyways back up your data lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Veteran Posted December 3, 2013 Veteran Share Posted December 3, 2013 Did you try replacing the cable as Hard Disk Sentinel suggested? It's odd that it got all OKs and 88%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotenks98 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 do chkdsk /f from the windows recovery. That will allow you to fix the errors. Once that's done do the test again to see if still says the drive is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheSwiss Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 What sort of performance are you getting out of the drive? Try running a HD Tune. Anything under 90MB/s I would see as low performance which could indicate the drive is reaching EOL. I get 86MB/s from my old SATA2 7200RPM 2.5" HDD so you should be getting much better from an SSD. Depending on how much use the drive gets you could have hit the read/write limit in the 3 years you have had the drive. Normally I see this on older SSDs that people have a lot of games on.

HawkMan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Did you try replacing the cable as Hard Disk Sentinel suggested? It's odd that it got all OKs and 88%. Not really, it's and SSD I believe health indicates how close it is to use up the write cycles. Which is weird since the other app says he's almost used them up and it will soon be read only...

snaphat (Myles Landwehr) Member Posted December 4, 2013 Member Share Posted December 4, 2013 Does your drive have a media wearout indicator in SMART? SSDLife Pro reads that. It probably just fails completely if the drive doesn't support it hence it tells you your drive is dead. The closet thing I see is an erase count (which is probably average erase count). It is currently 100 which means perfect. Also, as for HDD sentinal, it is just making **** up based off of a bogus calculation. All of your smart indicators are fine and the only realiable way to gauge SSD health is to look at the media wear out indicator or the erase count indicator since those give you an idea about how worn the cells are. It'd be a different story if the smart indicators were were giving you read and write errors (they aren't), but that would indicate something else other than media wear out issues. EDIT: you guys really should stop trusting the random shotty formulas they use in those programs. Look at the smart attributes. Have any attributes reached the threshold? Nope. All but one are perfect 100s (0x64s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like OPs SSD is on life support :( Nah, his drive doesn't appear to have a Media Wearout Indicator attribute and SSDLife is crapping out because of it (that is what I suspect anyway since it reads that attribute and just tells you the exact percentage the drive gives). There is nothing in the smart results he showed to indicate his drive is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaphat (Myles Landwehr) Member Posted December 4, 2013 Member Share Posted December 4, 2013 Those programs work by looking at the smart attributes. So then pray-tell what smart attribute are they reading from the list of attributes shown to give a drive health of 88% and 0% respectively. Did you even look at the attributes? I will repeat myself: they are all 100s except for the temperature attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it is worth, it looks to me like Smart sentinel is actually reading the raw values for some things. That is where the error rates are coming from (0x1 and 0xB under data in the image coorespond to the 1 transfer error and 11 write errors).

Torolol Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 that usually happens when the over provisioning already take some dead cells (NAND cells that no longer erase-write-able). but i'm sure other cells are still working conditions, though i still recommend for OP to buy another SSD, and transfer the data immediately.

What does that raw value actually mean for these? It is probably vendor specific if it isn't increasing the decoded value and is funny looking. Look at the the erase count, it has some weird value also so you can't tell what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the text on the first picture, it actually gives 88% because of the write errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
