After 15 days using this 870 Evo its health decreasing to 99% with 184Gb write, is it normal though?
i use crystaldiskinfowhat are you using to see health??
Magician? https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/
wouldn't think it go down 1% in 14 days. My nvme hasn't in 317 days.
Since this was my first ssd it suprised me the health is decreasing so fast because it was just 184gb write, it's ok if its normal thoughSamsung 870 EVO SATA SSD | Samsung Semiconductor Global
Samsung 870 EVO achieves the maximum speed of SATA interface. Intelligent TurboWrite maintains long-term high performance. Available from 250GB to 4TB.semiconductor.samsung.com
870 EVO TBW is 150 for each 250 GB of capacity.
You are writing at the rate of about 5 TB per year. Totally normal.
Not sure I'd get excited by a percentage rating this early in ownership. Maybe get interested if the decline persists over 6 months.
Mine is going to last forever based on my usage
is the tbw 700, not 70? as the health status might make sense then if it is just 70.My Crucial SSD; TBW 70; written 50; health status 70%.

power on is probably a factor, nvme can cheat and turn selves off when not in use. The Power on count difference between my hdd and nvme is 3k more hours on hdd, they were installed same day.
HD Sentinel doesn't just look at one value for health. If you click the ? next to the Health chart on Overview you get an explanation
7 year ssd... i hope its not boot. needs a nice rest in a field somewhere
Apparently i can't post screenshoot, but i try use hdd sentinel it show my ssd was 100%Post a screenshot from crystal disk info for the ssd.

i did but it says something went wrongUse imgur.com or postimages.org for a screen shot.
i look at crystaldisk everytime i boot up my pc until it play a sound yesterday and the health was 99% power on hours was 40 hours, on hd sentinel the health was 100%You're looking at it wrong.
You've taken a single snapshot in the drives health and lifespan.
And that, only of the first two weeks of life.
At the beginning, you are doing a LOT more writes than what you will in the coming months.
You need to monitor that over time, and see if that health goes down significantly.
Look at it once a week, at most.
Absent some actual fault with your particular drive, I'd expect that Health percentage to be no lower than 98% by the end of 2023.
So the usage was juuuust enough to trip it from 100% to 99%.i look at crystaldisk everytime i boot up my pc until it play a sound yesterday and the health was 99% power on hours was 40 hours, on hd sentinel the health was 100%
But that is true for most C drives and I don't see others agreeing with his health percentage. Unless they like I was on my previous install and only used the ssd for windows and installed almost everything on the hdd, there is going to be a lot of usage upfront.At the beginning, you are doing a LOT more writes than what you will in the coming months.
if you decide to get another SSD for storage, I would avoid the 500gig, 1tb, 2tb and 4tb 870 models. They are documented as having higher than normal failure rates.
https://www.techspot.com/news/92976-puget-reliability-report-shows-samsung-ssds-fail-least.htmlIn storage drives, Samsung SSDs show extremely low failure rates in both the shop and in the field, a trend that Puget says has been ongoing for years. Over 1,000 870 EVO and QVO drives were sold during the covered period, with no reported failures. The company notes that it has sold over 35,000 Samsung drives during its entire recorded history, yet fewer than 100 have failed.
