Whats the status of your SSD?

[TheLegendOfMart]

:(

I have set it up for over-provisioning though (ie shrinking the partition and leaving 10-15Gb unpartitioned space), helps having bigger cache and stops performance degredation and improves the life span of the SSD.

My first SSD, got it as a Christmas gift (laptop drive was failing).

Is work time suppose to be amount of time it's ran? Someone needs to fix the app :rofl:

"Almost all wear cells are busy, very soon your drive will be read only, so we suggest to replace it immediately."

 

However, CrystalDiskInfo 5.6.2 states "Health Status: Good 100%" and the system seems fine, so I'll choose to ignore SSDlife :)

Man King Must., How much data did you write to that drive, lol.

 

Here is mine:

[RichardK]

This one on the left is my everyday computer, the one on the right is my gaming computer:

 

 

and this is my work laptop (that gets turned on / off at least twice daily)

[ViperAFK]

Its only nearly empty cause I just reinstalled windows :) been giving this ssd quite a bit of use and still runs like new.

 

[UVSoaked]

This makes me happy.

[richardsim7]

No idea because my 2 are running in RAID0. But judging by the BSODs I've been getting lately, not good :p

Not much has changed it seems.

[StrikedOut]

Looks good to me!

The Samsung's still wagging like a content dog:

[WAQT]

Almost 8 months old, being rigorously used, check the read/writes.

 

[The Evil Overlord]

a little confused, do these drives wear out? (I just bought one)

(I've got hdd's over 15 years old now)

Technically yes. Every flash cell is only rated for a certain amount of writes, but a modern SSD utilizes techniques such as wear-leveling and over-provisioning and will last many years unless you have some sort of highly abnormal constant heavy write workload, you shouldn't worry.

For normal usage, don't worry yourself. If you're talking enterprise level filer then that's different.

[Noir Angel]

Apparently my vector doesn't provide health and longevity values. How annoying.

[ThehAWKs]

Only 5 months of use on a mac

Oh ok, thanks. I'm trying to build a new pc but finances only allow a part here, a part there, so for now I was going to see how the one I ordered goes.

It'll only be for OS use and windows updates, everything else will be on my d and e drives, guess I panicked when I saw the expected life figures.

(lol my 40gig quantum fireball's never let me down it's like 15 years old now, still use it in my son's machine)

I like this little piece of freeware!
