Question M.2 Health dropping unusually

[SleuthX]

I have 2TB and 1TB Crucial P3 M.2s. I use the 1TB for Windows and the 2TB for playing games. I have Crucial's software but it refuses to update their firmware.
I got them 1 year ago and so far the 2TB one is at 99% health with 9k writes and 26k reads
1TB is at only 87% with 39k writes and 26k reads
Following the math the 1TB one should degrade 5X times more than the 2TB one because of multiplying the writes' numbers, but it is not, it is in fact 14X, which is more than double.
I should add that I use sleep mode all the time if that helps.

what are you using to cool them ? nvme will degrade quicker under heavy writes if not cooled properly.

and not really its more common for the c drive to be in worse heath then your gaming drive.

why cause your desktop does more writes which is what kills ssds and nvme quicker.

reads dont do as much damage and most writes if you installed steam on your c drive will happen from games saving data. once a game has all its files downloaded on the drive all it does is read that data which does not really harm nvme and ssds as much is more the writes

That Health value is not real, measurable and standard value, it depends on manufacturer to evaluate by own standards taking into account age and number of writes on which it bases warranty. If all SMART values within parameters, no bad or relocated sectors etc. it doesn't matter any.

Post a screenshot from.....crystal disk info....for both disk.

drops rapidly over a short time, then it may be due to an SSD error and cause a poor SSD health ratio due to: Presence of bad sectors. Driver failure

It dropped to 86%, now I am just convinced the M.2 being above 60C is the reason.
