Troubleshoot SSD Health Issue?

[nsm0220]

Briefly explain your current issue(s)

The SSD Health is at 98%

Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful

None but backup data

I'm a little worried about my SSD hard drive, because its health is at 98% and my two other hard drives at 100%.

Did you try to check the stats of the SSD using software like Crystalmark or HDTune?
It may reveal more info about the issue.

Without more details , hard to tell. But SSD die faster than HDDs .

I did im trying to upload the Pic data, but it won't will me let upload it.

Hard Disk Sentinel said it was a 177# wear level count.

SSD constantly decrease in health. we need your SMART screenshot.
What is the size of your SSD?

1 Program/Erase cycle = your SDD size

So every time you write/erase your SSD size , you loose one cycle.

is your SSD a Samsung?

Yes and its 500 GB.Also i put files from the 2nd hard drive i don't need into my Recycle Bin i don't know if that effects the SSD.

Samsung's SDD drop to 99% after few hours, so don't worry. HDS will show the correct value.

From what i know (i may be wrong) but each drive has its own recycle bin; you can see it by unhide protected folders in explorer's options.

Did OP enable SMART on BIOS/UEFI? Are you using EVO based drive?

Hard Disk Sentinel said it was a 177# wear level count.

ID 177 Wear Level Count represents the average number of "Programming and Erasure” of the blocks. This value is directly related to the duration of the SSD but it's quite pessimistic and the real value could be better.
According to the report I think It is a normal condition.

SSDs have more sensitive compare to HDD in terms of health issue, especially when numerous factors are meet. However using it daily should not possess any huge damage for upcoming sessions since not using often can lead also to more problem.

Based on textual report, the accuracy report may vary so likely observe first as it can refresh to the better value.

Its totally normal, SSD lifespan reduces with writing on it, usually SSD with nand or phison controllers are made to last very long, I calculated something and it approximately needs 15GBs of daily write for SSD to last more than 10 years

Very good to know.

I am here because my hard disk's health is displaying the same way as exactly mentioned in the first post. BTW @Umbra how would you be so confident?

 

[Deleted member 178]

i just googled

An advice to all those people who have an SSD.
Always check the performance of the disk with the manufacturer software.
I have Samsung EVO 850 120 GB and when i want to check the disk i use Samsung Magician.
I have noticed over the years that third party programs put more stress to the disk when checking than
the manufacturer ones.

I admit your words but they also stress users mind by showing the in appropriate(sometime) results.

Btw should i enable rapid in magician.

 

[Vasudev]

It depends entirely on your choice. Sometimes you achieve monstrous RW speeds and sometimes it doesn't. If you've a lot of RAM greater than 8G, then enable RAPID mode.

I don't think rapid mode can do any better than the normal state, the default setup with some minor tweaks are sufficient for a optimum SSD usage experience for almost any user. Indeed it tends to use more memory and CPU usage as it was explained by Vasudev.
