Your SSD health may be "Good," but disk write errors mean you should start worrying sooner
Many users may overlook the importance of SSD health monitoring, assuming that a 'Good' status means their drive is functioning well. However, this status does not account for potential read/write errors or physical degradation. It's crucial to examine the S.M.A.R.T. data for a more accurate assessment of your SSD's condition.
- ▪SSD health indicators can show 'Good' or 'Normal' status for years, regardless of underlying issues.
- ▪A high health percentage does not guarantee that the SSD is free from uncorrectable errors.
- ▪S.M.A.R.T. data provides detailed insights into the SSD's performance and potential failure risks.
