![]() ![]() I did a clean install of windows on the drive and have never secure erased or anything which would add a bunch of writes. ![]() The drive has never been more than 50% full so wear leveling should not be a problem. ![]() According to crystal disk, the drive has been "powered on" for 6321 hours and has a "power on" count of 209. I would say that the computer which has the SSD in it is used on an infrequent basis (less than 10 hrs a week) and I almost always turn it off when not in use. Here I am 19 months into my drive's life (with a minimal amount of use) and it is 1/3 through its life? How is this possible? Everything I ever read was that although SSD drives had a limited # of writes and thus would eventually cease to function, the # of writes was so high that a very highly used drive would still last 15-20 years. I installed this SSD (60gb Agility) in February of 2010 and it is saying that I have used 1/3 of the writes to the nand. With a good deal of concern I quickly started to search the web to determine if this program is accurate or not in this measure, and I found some people saying that it isn't but I found a lot more that say it is and many people that say it gives the same results as many other popular drive info programs (this makes sense as it is taking everything from the SMART data on the drive). Upon loading it up I noticed that it was the wrong program, but also noticed that it says the drive health of my SSD is at 66%. I was attempting to check the speeds of one of my hard drives and went to download CrystalDisk Mark and accidentally downloaded the info program on accident. ![]()
