[SOLVED] Best tool for testing various SSD's in my system

[coreymas]

I am looking for a recommendation for a tool to test various SSD's in my system.

I currently have 2 SSD's that i need to test. (i might have a 3rd one to test soon).

Thank you

What does "testing" mean to you? The best tool for an SSD is usually the software provided by the manufacturer.

I need to test for performance and lifespan. Was hoping to not have to download specific tools for each of my SSD's

CrystalDiskInfo will give you TB written.
I wouldn't recommend "benchmarking" SSDs unless you believe there is a problem. It only adds write cycles with no significant benefit.

Okay then i will just go and download the specific tools for each drive. I have 3 of them

Knowing the TB written from CrystalDiskInfo will give you an idea of "lifespan" -- But most SSDs will outlast the PC they are connected to.
Any disk can fail at any time. Independent of the amount of data written. If you have important data, then you need a comprehensive backup implementation.

CrystalDiskMark is a widely used tool for at least verifying the SSDs in question get roughly the read/write speeds they are supposed to, about 500-550 MB/sec for SATA (sequential reads/writes) and 2500-3400 MB/sec for NVME drives)
