SSD goes from 100% to 99% in health

>SSD goes from 100% to 99% in health

Is the reckoning coming?

Yep

lol

I'm already at about 95%, I think, after just a year or so. And it's an intel ssd.

So yeah, unless you have some special heavy-duty SSD made for heavy usage (like servers), it's not gonna last more than 10 years, maybe not even 10.

And this is despite the meme of people saying
>lol SSDs will last 200 years xD
>I love science!1

No one says that.

>own some piece of shit first generation ssd that doesn't even support trim
>still nothing wrong

What's everyone using to determine their ssd health?

SMART
>smartctl -A /dev/whatever
>Look in VALUE column of Media_Wearout_Indicator, Wear_Leveling_Count, and a couple others

SSDs have ridiculous write endurance, but everyone knows the controllers always fail first.

>Bought the cheapest SSD I could find 7 years ago
>SSD Health: 97%
That's my boy.

I did not know this. Why is this? Do they get too hot?

>msata SSD on PCIE card
>had it for years before realizing new firmware was available
>SSDLife Pro says it's healthy
>Trim supported and enabled
who safe here

I bought mine in 2012, it has 35TB written and just went from 100% to 99. Also intel.

>74%

Should I be worried?

No, put the only copies of your most important files on it. It'll be fine.

There's a firmware update available for my SSD

should I update? Changelog says the following;

>SMART Attribute 198 was not reset at start of each background scan
>Improved compatibility with Micron JMB394 RAID controller
>Improved drive error handling
>Disable APM
>General stability improvements
>Second source enablement

Way way trip to brick-city.

size?

>14TB of writes
I wish HDDs tracked that in SMART.

>Just retired some HGST 500gb and 1tb drives with 50k+ hours
Those things are like cockroaches.
You can find them anywhere and they're basically indestructible.
