I have an old Crucial M225 which I guess I've had for 11 or 12 years. Not used that box much at all over the last 8 or so years. Surprised it's that far gone after relatively little use.

Using a 2TB MX500 now. I guess that can can take some pretty heavy (domestic) use?

Power on hours showing incorrectly? Or has it only been used for an average of 46 minutes a day, and somehow also only been powered on 600 times?

The PC was rarely "off". I just put it to sleep. Maybe that did stop the power on hours but not count a new power cycle?

Those 3400 hours probably represent an average of 3hrs a day, for three years.

@clv101 very surprised at how little health is being shown considering the drives light use.
I can see that you have used a different version of CrystalDisk, sometimes those health values change between versions. But still....

Mmm yes it does seem very low for the usage, I'd expect it to still be on 100% really, hence asking.

But maybe something the system does is bad for SSD's?

my 830 will be my xbox series capture drive when i swap it out the laptop in a week or so, the poor thing is going to be abused heavily on writes till its death.

Lol to rephrase the OPs question - does anyone still have a fully functional OCZ SSD?

Yep. I have an OCZ drive still working in a 2011 MacBook. Still seems to be going strong.

My samsung 840 pro is down to 87% after 4-5yrs of use

I am curious if we will see reports of next gen console storage failures in a few years, my S ssd will be taking a beating on writes as moving games around and also the consoles are now constantly auto recording footage during gameplay to ssd as well.

There's a real lack of Shizuku Editions of Crystal Disk Info in this thread

Anyway this is my original boot 830 in use for 8.5 years

This one I bought 2nd hand where it had been heavily used but now it just stores games.

Only time we've had that is original Intel SSD's in servers dying, yet to find anyone to do it on a home PC.

Guessing there be a lot less fails with SSD's compared to how many standard HDD fails there been

How old is the drive?

CaptainRAVE · 20 Dec 2020 at 14:18

Scrapped all my old SSDs due to being too small. Don’t think I’ll ever wear one out.

Samsung 850 evo, around 5 years old, i am running the very latest version of CrystalDisk info, maybe they changed it ?

Akagi · 20 Dec 2020 at 14:36

Weird. I think it should be showing. Unless its 100%.

Yeah, got a Vertex 3 120GB somewhere that's just fine.

Grim5 · 20 Dec 2020 at 19:33

I thought the same. My first was a 60gb OCZ.
