Question SATA SSD Issues: discrepancy between CrystalDiskInfo and Hard Disk Sentinel results ?

[bukanandiko]

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I'm also a beginner in building PCs, so I would really appreciate your help. I recently bought a SATA SSD and it seems to have some issues. I installed a few games like Valorant and some Steam games, but all the games I play have problems, such as force closing or experiencing very severe frame drops.

Following my friend's suggestion, I used CrystalDiskInfo and Hard Disk Sentinel. After installing and checking, Hard Disk Sentinel showed that my SSD's health is below 15%, but CrystalDiskInfo showed 100% health. Which one should I trust?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I recently bought a SATA SSD and it seems to have some issues.
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Chances are your SSD has an app/toolkit that helps monitor the life of your SSD. Samsung have their Magician app, Adata have their SSD toolbox, while Crucial has Storage Executive Manager, which is why we ask for the make and model of the drive.

Forget about that "Health" parts, it's just an estimate each program estimates differently on basis of age, data written etc. Only SMART table shows real data.
