About this deal

Now, maybe that’s a typo and maybe it isn’t, but if I were you, I sure the h*ll wouldn’t take that chance! Want to know if you can boot from an external SSD? Get an explanation with Crucial’s helpful guide and learn more about external SSDs. I found this description of that value: “SSD Life Left. Supported by few manufacturers, this parameter represents calculated lifespan remaining in the disk based on certain equations. When normalized, it reads 100 (100%) for healthy drives to 1 (1%) for dead SSD’s. Sometimes replaced with Percentage of the Rated Lifetime Used.” — 63 hex is 99% life left, so I’d say you’re in great shape. :-) (Source: https://hetmanrecovery.com/recovery_news/predicting-ssd-failures-ssd-specific-smart-values.htm ) Reply My other SSD, the D: drive, is in even better shape. CrystalDiskInfo on second SSD. (Screenshot: askleo.com) 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)…

Great article Leo. Have a 1TB SSD and have been using CrysYoutalDiskInfo for a while now. Must have heard it from you! You went on to explain the program well. The new controller has a DRAM-based architecture featuring dual Arm Cortex-R5 CPU cores and eight NAND channels that interface with the flash, This new Crucial NVMe controller is similar to SMI’s SM2262EN, but with additional co-processors, it is closer in design to Phison’s E12S and E16. Not only does it leverage one or two additional co-processors like Phison’s designs, but also Crucial’s engineers have integrated four Cortex M3 CPU cores into the controller to aid in efficiently offloading some of the NAND management firmware code.

With robust hardware and security, Crucial’s P5 is engineered for gamers and professional workflows.

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. This flash is different from that of the previous-generation that we’ve seen produced by Micron. We went into detail about this new flash on our Phison PS5018-E18 preview, but for those who want the gist, instead of taking advantage of a floating gate architecture, the company’s B47R flash leverages a replacement gate architecture. If your SSD fails, and you get a replacement via warranty service, that replacement won’t have your data.

If nothing else, the mere fact that they could misspeak so egregiously does NOT speak well of their reliability! :( Reply It’s not the amount of space used, it’s the amount of data that’s been written to it. If you write 1 terabyte of information, erase it all, then write 1 terabyte of information again, that’s 2 terabytes written. (Actually, a little more, since the erase will also write a small amount.) ReplyAs I just said, there are no guarantees — my SSDs could still fail at any time. That they’re “young” in terms of TBW would indicate that the risk is low of that particular kind of failure, but the risk is never zero. Besides, there are so many other ways that things could fail beyond the SSDs wearing out or having wear or internal problems. 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.
