Product Information

Investing in an external SSD for gaming can hugely optimize your experience. Find the best PC, Xbox and PS4 external SSD that suits your needs, at Crucial If I have to say 2020-2021 is one of the best years as far as competition is concerned. AMD v Intel is reaching an all time high and Nvidia is having competition. You can see that the warrantied life is proportionate to size: 600TBW per terabyte of device storage, which makes sense. A device twice as big should be able to handle twice as much data in its life. The Solid State Drive (SSD) Toolbox is an update utility that properly recognizes the SSD unit(s) installed on your system. It also displays various pieces of information regarding the connected storage devices and searches for a new suitable firmware version.

So, now that we know what the warranty covers, how do we figure out where we are? Your SSD’s odometer Or is it doing the same as the Seagate 530 at 1,200 MTps ?Your guess is as good as mine. Unfortunately, Crucial would not disclose this information. My other SSD, the D: drive, is in even better shape. CrystalDiskInfo on second SSD. (Screenshot: askleo.com) I got a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (which was a popular SSD for years) which has a official rated write life of 75TBW. but in the real world it will likely do AT LEAST double that before any failure from writing data to it occurs. to put that into perspective… if someone writes 40GB of data to the SSD EVERY SINGLE DAY for 10 years straight that’s still only 147TBW. it’s pretty safe to say the average person won’t be doing that level of data writing, especially not on a consistent day-to-day basis for that length of time. Nice article, Leo. Thanks for this, and for the many others! But I am wondering about something you didn’t mention. Crystal Disk Info listed your Samsung Evo Plus temperature in red. Why doesn’t that concern you? ReplyThe specifications for an SSD model may include a TBW, or “terabytes written” measure of the minimum life expectancy. You can then use a tool to examine the amount of data written to your drive to determine how close to the TBW it is. The drive may last longer or fail earlier, but this lets you judge your risk against the manufacturer’s expectations based on your current usage. SSD guarantees The best way to increase the lifespan of an SSD (or any flash-based memory or drive) is to reduce the amount you write to it. For SSDs, that means don’t defragment them, which is a very write-intensive operation with little to no benefit for SSDs. There’s an argument that any files to which you write frequently (or even constantly, in the case of certain types of databases) are candidates to move to a non-SSD drive. In general, however, modern SSDs last long enough for this to no longer be a significant concern. Is upgrading to SSD worth it?

NVMe SSD Driver enables additional management and support features for Micron and Crucial SSDs in Windows Operating Systems. I want comments to be valuable for everyone, including those who come later and take the time to read. Cancel reply sudo smartctl -A /dev/sda (NOTE: change the ‘a’ in ‘sda’ to the location of your SSD! ; one can see that by doing ‘lsblk’ (that’s LSBLK) in terminal and with the info it spits out you can reason out the location of your SSD)then where it shows ‘Total_LBAs_Written’, to the right of that you will see ‘RAW_VALUE’ which will have a large number there. then you take that large number and use the following formula to convert to TBW (I am just using the number my Samsung 850 EVO 250GB showed me the other day)…
