SSD Life Expextancy

[atifpolitici]

Hello,

I record a lot of videos on my PC, though the Xbox app on Windows 10.

My question is that, my SSD total host writes are approaching 1500GB with 94 percent total health.

It’s been less than a year since, I have had possoession of this drive why has the health gone done very quick?

Which SSD model do you have?
It depends of the quality of the SSD, since the flash memory life expectancy varies by device.
I had SSDs died on me after 800TB, without warning.
I do have a Corsair that passed 1050TB and it keeps warning me and I just waiting for it to die.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply I have a Toshiba TR200 240GB.

Just wondering why at 1500GB total host writes it's already at 94 percent health?

So according to CrystalDiskInfo if it’s at 1500GB THW, how much more longer can I expect it to last please?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

Between one week and 5 years, or so.

It will last, right up until the day it dies.
SSD's often continue with regular read speed, but the write speed drops off.

The best and only way to protect your data is with a good backup routine.

I got the same answer from a mechanic when my car reached 220K miles.

"1500GB".
I think we have a miscommunication here.
1500GB is only 1.5TB. Trivial....


Please post a screencap of what is telling you this.

I use Acronis True Image, and I have back ups in more than one location.

I was just curious because one HDD, only lasted a year till it conked out!

I've had hard drives die at the 5 week point. other, still running after 20 years.

The only SSD I've had issues with is a 6 year old Kingston 120GB.
Read speeds are still fine, write speed had reduced to ~1/3 of original. All the other SSD's in the house are still fine, some of them with similar power on hours and TBW as that Kingston.

Per the specs from Toshiba, that specific drive has a total write endurance of 60TB. Or, 55GB per day.

That said, I've had three OEM Toshiba NVMe drives fail on me in a Dell Precision. I replaced it with a Samsung retail. So, Toshiba SSD are officially on my "do not buy" list of drives to choose from. YMMV

Hi,

Here is addiotional information from the Toshiba OCZ utility.

Thank you Adept, so would it be a good idea to start hunting for a better drive because I also start university soon? I feel through my gaming, I'll easily reach the 60TB mark!

 

[USAFRet]

I'm not sure what the Toshiba utility is telling you.
But I wouldn't worry about it too much.

How is the actual performance?

 

[atifpolitici]

It's actual performance Sir, is pretty good so far. But I became worried, that my drive reached 94 percent health in less than a year. It's my main file for the OS and its lightening fast as far as the performance goes.

 

[USAFRet]

Thank you Adept, so would it be a good idea to start hunting for a better drive because I also start university soon? I feel through my gaming, I'll easily reach the 60TB mark!

The 6x SSD's in my system, which has been SSD only for 3+ years...only reaches to ~50TBW total. All of them combined.

Don't stress.

 

[atifpolitici]

Okay, thank you which SSD would you reccomend. Someone added that Toshiba is off the buy list? Thanks!

Samsung 850 or 860
Crucial MX500
WD Blue

 

[atifpolitici]

Thanks, I always prefer and trust Samsung because it's an well established brand and has been around for an immensly long period of time. I will keep up with my weekly backup routine, so would it be wise then to keep monitoring the SSD in the meanwhile?

Thank You!

Hi guys, my Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drives read error is increasing. One program says that it’ll die soon, Crystal Disk Info says it’s good, please advise what to do? Thanks!

With any drive, SSD or HDD, you should be prepared for it to die at any moment.
It may last another 5 years, it may die tomorrow.
