[SOLVED] [SSD] Help about health

[French_Feather]

Hello there,

Is this cause for concern (7yrs old SSD)? "16 Retired Block Count"

Thank you

Yes.

But even all the more so if you do not have data backups that are verified to be recoverable and readable.

Statistically, there may be some remaining safety margin in place but that risk can go either way.

I would get a replacement SSD and regulate that drive to some use where a failure and loss of data will not be cause for concern.

Make/model/size of this drive?

Bottom line - ALL drives are suspect. Your primary means of data protection should be a comprehensive backup routine.

7 year old 128GB SSD?
Yeah, you should be looking to a replacement.

It won't die today or tomorrow, but...

 

[French_Feather]

Yeah it's my first SSD ^^ old and small, but enough for Windows & Software.

Anyway thanks for your answer (all of you)

I'd be concerned with the Uncorrectable Error Count attribute.
