Formatting An SSD.

[alexander132]

So actually a while ago i had a faulty motherboard which was causing some problems but at first i didn't realise.So i basically did 34- formats to my SSD and istalling windows again ( and some other files like drivers and stuff).So i want to ask if that incident has affected my SSD .So i did 3-4 back to back formats and istalls of windows .Has that shortened my lifespan of my SSD or has it damaged it ?

I have a sata SSD (hyperx 240 gb)

Its unlikely. It was probably unaffected since the device can boot and operate as it normally does.

Not likely.

You need that kind of activity daily for a number of years to impact endurance.

There should be some SMART statistics that can tell you approximately what percent of the life is gone.
The ssd vendor should have an app for that.

That definitely won't have had a major (or even minor) effect on your SSD.

3 or 4 full formats? On an SSD? OMG it is on the edge of dying!!!

No, not really. Just joking.
It is fine.
