[SOLVED] Quickly degrading SSD Kingston Nvme Health Status

[Anguxilion]

My drives are performing well from what I can tell, and I thought they were good to go at 100% health, but today I updated HD Sentinel and came up with these results. I checked on Crystal

Disk info to make sure it was not some bug, and no, it's showing the right number.

is this normal? the one with 90% is around 2 years old and the other one (99%) is not even 1, is this common? should I be worried and buying another one?

I saw a yt video where that shows how if you go into the SMART tab on HD sentinel, you can edit the values to fix the health %, is this a real fix that will improve its lifespan or it's just a placebo to show a fake 100% health number?

100 to 90 in 2 years means that, with current use rate, it will reach 0% at the age of 20.
Will you still be using this drive in 2045?

As always, keep a good backup routine. It might die of something else.

The snvs250g disk has a 60TB written endurance. Writing 6TB to your C: drive in two years doesn't seem unreasonable.
That means that it will be 18 years before it it zero. What is the probability that you will keep this 250GB disk for 20 years? Basically zero ...

Alght, it makes perfectly sense now, you're right haha, I thought it was bad not having it at 100%, thank you so much

Health percentage is not a real and measurable number, it's just an estimate by program's developer based on SMART table, age of the disk and/or number of writes.
So theoretically. a program could show 0% and disk can be as good as new as long as SMART doesn't show any error.
