Question SSD Losing Health (90%)

[Rafael Bento]

Hello, I bought my Laptop almost 3 years ago. I started to check my disk's health (I check it in Hard Disk Sentinel) a few months ago like 10 months or something like that, and it started dropping health... like 1% each 2 months is it normal?
I use it only for gaming/programming and it has 72,03TB of Lifetime Writes, is it too much?

It is fine.

72TBW is not "too much".
That is how you use your system...it is what it is.

That drop off at the far right of the graph is 1%.
91% to 90%
Trivial.


On a scale of 0% to 100% over time, you would net even notice that 1% change.

Use it until it dies.
Keep good backups for when it does.

If the time it takes to drop in health accelerates all of of a sudden you may want to keep a fresh/new backup ssd to copy your files.

Assuming the drive keeps its usual performance until it hits 0%, you have about 7.5 years at the rate its going until it gets there in the worst case. Seeing as you already put 3 years on it, 10 years out of a given computer part is already pretty darn good.
