SSD Endurance question. (discuss.tchncs.de)

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So, I have Crucial MX500 SSD, and on their spec sheet, the SSD Endurance TBW is 180TB

Crystal Disk Info says the health is at 33% Health, despite Total Host Writes being 54039 GB (30% of specified SSD endurance TBW of 180TB)

So is their specified endurance wrong, is the Total Host Writes data in Crystal Disk Info misleading or wrong, or is there more things that go into determining the "health" of an SSD besides Total Bytes Written? Or could it be that I mistreated the SSD causing its health to get worse?

Attribute 202 (Percent Lifetime Remaining) is a good indicator of ssd life remaining. It's a percentage based system where 100 = 100% ala new and 0 = 0% ala "It's dead".

Keep an eye on that attribute and number as it decreases. Consider making adjustments on writes to this drive so you can prolong its eventual 0 dead result and as always: make backups.
