[SOLVED] Hard drive issue

Solution
I have heard that SSD's have limited file write/delete count, how long will it last using it daily ?
Years and years.

Yes there is a 'limit'. But that limit is huge.
The current Samsung 860 EVO 500GB has a warranty limit of 150TBW.
All 7 of the SSD's in my system add up to a cumulative 45TBW. Some of these drives have been in use basically 24/7 for almost 5 years.

SSD's wearing out from too many write cycles is not something to worry about.
Download and run a program called "Hard Disk Sentinel" to check the health of your hard drive.

The drive tried to examine and reallocate data sector(s) 717 times.
There are 488 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
More information: https://www.hdsentinel.com/hard_disk_case_weak_sectors.php
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.

It is recommended to backup immediately to prevent data loss. " Time to change I guess
