[SOLVED] Is my SSD failing?

[brandon236]

I have a computer that contains a mechanical hdd and an ssd. My hdd was failing and I took it down to a computer store to get it looked at and the people there said that my ssd was also failing. They claimed it failed all of their tests. The problem is that this ssd is only a few months old and looks fine. I decided to download several programs to test the status of the ssd and all of them say my ssd is healthy. So is my ssd good and if so then why would the people at that computer store claim it's failing?

It should also be noted that they initially claimed that windows was installed on the ssd (even though I know for a fact that it's installed on the hdd) only to later say that it was installed on the hdd.

If your tests say its fine and you're not encountering a problem, then don't worry. They could have equally tested with a faulty cable for example.

What tests have you ran?
What does crystaldiskinfo mark your SSD as?

Crystal Disk doesn't work with my ssd. I tested it on Hard Disk Sentinel as well as SSD Life and both said the drive was healthy listing it at 98%.

It sounds like the guys at your "computer store" are a bit clueless.

It's a KINGSTON SA400S37 480gb

The Kingston toolbox will test that drive.
