Over the past 10 years I have had dozens of SSD models on my hands, mostly for work reasons but also for hobbies and personal interest: I therefore feel able to provide quite valid feedback on what was one of my last purchases before the anti-COVID19 lockdown, a Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD 1 TeraByte, which I used mainly for video editing: I had never experienced Sabrent SSDs before, as in the company we usually orient ourselves on Intel and Samsung for obvious reasons of reliability. Those were the years in which Samsung and Toshiba developed NAND flash technology, which still represents the standard in all types of flash memory: from that moment on SSDs began to spread more and more and cost less and less, up to to the boom of the years 2010-2012, in which they imposed themselves on hard disk drives (hard-disk drives or HDDs) in all the main areas thanks to their superior characteristics of speed and reliability. On average 250TB can be written before wear related problems appear.DISCLAIMER: all the opinions expressed in this article represent the personal belief of the author and are in no way oriented by commercial relations of any kind with Sabrent or other SSD brands, with the sole exception of the single purchase referred within the post.įor me, SSD disks were love at first sight: I have been interested in this technology since the appearance of the first solid state memories at a vaguely affordable price, roughly around the beginning of the 90s: the first SSD I have memory of is the 20MB SanDisk, marketed around 1991 with a cost of around $ 1000. Only SSDs with more than 10TB written, because the rounding errors etc. When health is reported at 100% after multiple TB written you can assume that the SSD doesn't properly report wear.Īll results.
Most TB written were 100 and on place two 50.
None of the SSDs were near that amount of that. On average one can write 167TB to them before there are any problems from wear.
SSDs lose on average 0.6% of their health per TB written.
#SSD HEALTH CHECK REDDIT PRO#
Samsung PRO series actually shows less wear than the EVO series. The bigger the drive, the less wear they show. For example Samsung which is with 117 entries the most popular one in the survey: When comparing the data it makes more sense to look at specific vendors. For example uses Intel Toolbox the wear level as overall health while Crystaldiksinfo shows a different value for overall health.

And different software tools display them differently. One thing to keep in mind when looking at the data: Different vendors report things differently. Samsung 840 EVO 256GB which shows a wear leveling of 46% after just 12TB writtenĬorsair Neutron 128GB at 40% after 14TB written With four exceptions the health of all sampled SSDs is fine. On the x-axis is the amount of data that got written to the SSD.
We now have the data of nearly 250 drives. I asked you to share the S.M.A.R.T report of your SSD in this thread.
