load unload cycle count in crystaldiskinfo for my WDblue 1tb show c493 ?

[sosolola]

what does that mean ?
how much is the c493 ?

You have 35101 load/unload cycles(891d is a hexadecimal number).

If it is a notebook drive it is pretty normal. My 2.5 inch blue has 41383.

thank you soo much
what about my other drive
c493 ?

50323

From CrystalDiscInfo select Function -> Advanced Feature -> Raw Values -> DEC [10] and it will convert for you.

Just note that not all numbers are human friendly.

it,s a desktop
the one that show c493 is western digital green
but I checked same drive with the SMART info showing in Samsung magician software
and it show over 150 000
so which software to trust ?

 

[nukemaster]

Green drives and other drives with power savings as well as spinning down a drive at idle add load/unloads as well.

I added an image above to have CrystalDiskInfo show base 10 numbers instead.

thank you
but just one more question
why crystal disk info show only 50323 load unload cycle count
while Samsung magician show a number over 150 000
which software is correct ?

I am not sure why they show over 150 000. Maybe it is just not reading the western digital SMART right, but SMART should be pretty standard for those kinds of things.

I have seen some drives not report load/unloads, but not report different numbers on different software.

I have had good luck with CrystalDiskInfo.
