![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to learn about the methods of determining drive lifespan, look into the SMART predictive analysis feature, which was originally for spinning rust drives but carried over to SSD. I think the Pro are 2-3x the cost of the QVO line per GB. Samsung has their low end consumer grade QVO, mid level EVO and prosumer Pro line, which differ in cost, performance and reliability. Intel tends to sell to higher end solutions that require extreme reliability, while they downplay the consumer end. Also, some vendors offer multiple levels of SSD from entry level consumer grade to data center quality drives. Although made up of billions or trillions of cells, each memory cell has a lifespan of a few thousand writes, depending on the memory technology. To continue what blufeb95 said, most drives implement a method of write leveling across the entire disk, so particular cells in the flash memory are not overstressed. It must since I haven't had this thing long enough to do that many true power down and on cycles. ![]() Not sure if the "Power On Counts" includes restarts (reboots without a full power off) or not. or goes bad prematurely and it needs to be replaced? Make an ISO image of their old SSD on an external drive, then re-image that onto the newly installed SSD? So what do people do when their SSD is getting near the "end of life". But do SSDs actually run reliably down to or very near 0% life remaining? Or should they be replaced at some level like 20~25% life left? If it was 5% a year, it would still take many years to hit say 25% life left. The SSD showed 100% life until today when it clicked down to 99% at the measured parameters shown.Īnyone know what kind of algorithm is used to determine the remaining SSD life? If a SSD was used a lot on nearly a daily basis it seems the life could decrease around 5~6% per year (?). I downloaded and installed "Crystal Disk Info" a few days ago to monitor my SSD. ![]()
