My understanding is that wear leveling count, and other associated values, start at 100 and count down to 0.I think you are fine. That said, I would always try to limit the number of write cycles to an SSD as much as possible to maximize life. That said you could probably write a petabyte to a typical SSD before that becomes an issue.I think your SSDs are probably fine right now. Make sure you perform routine backups, of course.On Sun, Jan 29, 2017, 09:22 Mark Phillips <mark@phillipsmarketing.biz> wrote:------------------------------MarkI ran GSmartControl on my two SSDs (Ubuntu 14.04 laptop), and I see a lot of pre-fail indicators in the reports (attached). Does this mean I am approaching the drives end of life and I need to replace them?Thanks!
I have also read that each SSD manufacturer codes the SMART attributes differently (https://askubuntu.com/questions/325283/how-do-i- ). Not sure if this is true today, since these posts are several years old.check-the-health-of-a-ssd
I looked at this "dictionary of terms" for Samsung drives (http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/ ). I am confused as to why the values in my reports are considered "pre-fail" or "old age" when many of them are zero.minisite/SSD/M2M/download/07_ Communicating_With_Your_SSD.
Can you interpret these reports for me, or point me to some documentation that will help me understand what they are telling me?---------------------
