[SOLVED] How can I fix it to 100%?

[melysaa]

My SSD health is now at 14% and the statement says

The status of the solid state disk is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors were not found.
The TRIM feature of the SSD is supported and enabled for optimal performance.
The health is determined by SSD specific S.M.A.R.T. attribute(s): #233 Media Wearout Indicator

It is recommended to backup immediately to prevent data loss.

But when I go to the S.M.A.R.T section there is no number with hazard sign and it seems that the number is incomplete.

How can I fix it then?

Can you post a screen shot of whatever program is telling you this statement your refer to?

Without more info, I wouldn't necessarily get excited over some 14% reading. Who knows how that was calculated?

I have edited it with the screenshot, thank you.

You can't "fix it" to 100%.

You can ignore the 14% reading. No one knows how long your drive will last.

31 TB writes in less than a year. That's more than most people would write. But not horrendous.

An Intel drive of 240 GB capacity might have a TBW of 100 or less. I don't know. Wouldn't mean much anyway if it's working OK.

I don't see anything alarming in the SMART info.

You could Google around for how Hard Disk Sentinel comes up with health ratings if you want.

I'd probably keep using it unless I was unable to sleep because of worry.

30 TB writes in less than a year. That's more than most people would write.

I see, okay then, thank you so much for answering.

if a disk is suffering from physical wear there is no way to "fix" it.
but i would run multiple scans with multiple programs to ensure you're not just getting a false reading.

just as a precaution, make sure you have adequate backup space on other drive(s) and have recent backups produced.

also make sure you do not have malware running that may be constantly reading/writing to the disk.

As you can see from the first picture health went from 100% to what it is now in one day, this means that the firmware just reached a number that was set by the manufacturer based on their in house tests that represents a mtbf.
They probably have a total nand writes threshold of 300,000 as a safe limit so they are letting you know that on average nands are going to start breaking down from now on.
Hence media wearout.

The attribute's raw value dropped from 15 to 14. Nothing wrong with that.

BTW, Intel's spec for this SSD is 73 TBW.

Intel's SSDs have been known to simply disallow all further writes once the advertised TBW value is achieved, so, the 'percentage of life' remaining does matter a bit more for Intel...

You don't "fix" a storage device.
Instead, you maintain a good backup routine, and use the drive until it dies.
Then, replace it and recover your data from the backup.
