Launch HD Tune Pro Drive Status, choose Statistics option in the left side and check Sectors written. But if the value keeps rising, you should consider a new drive.įor Intel SSD users, download Intel SSD Toolbox.įor Samsung SSD users, download Samsung Magician.įor Kingston SSD users, download Kingston SSD Manager.įor Western Digital SSD users, download Data Lifeguard Diagnostic. If value is not zero, check if Reallocated is still zero. Tips: Bad blocks on SSDs are normal, that's why there are free sectors to remap them to. Too many bad blocks will result in less available capacity and reduced performance of the drive. The larger the RAW value, the more bad blocks which are damaged and can't be accessed by computer are detected. Take note of Bad Block Count, RAW value should better be zero. This value increases when a unstable sector has read errors and drops if the read errors disappear.Īpart from the usual testing software, SSD manufacturers also provide tools for users to obtain S.M.A.R.T information:įor Toshiba SSD users, OCZ SSD utility is probably the best software. The count of occasions when data is transferred from a reallocated sector to free sectors, whether successful or not, is recorded. When read or write errors are frequently detected in a sector, the drive will mark the sector as reallocated sector and transfer the data to a spare area (free sector). This attribute shows the total number of sector replacement operations. Increase in this value may imply that the number of bad blocks is likely to get higher. Whether it is an erase failure or a program failure, the SSD will classify that block as a bad block. Increase in this value can be an indicator of drive aging or potential electromechanical problems. Several cycles of the above operation will result in the retirement of the block. If the block isn't programming, this block is read and erased, then the program attempts again. Increase in this value may mean that flash chips are dying prematurely (before reaching their rated number of erase/write cycles). The normalized value, beginning at 100, shows the percent remaining of allowable erase fails. The raw value shows total count of erase fail. Parameters marked in blue are the ones you need to focus on. HD Tune can show you the S.M.A.R.T information of your SSD and there is a problem with any of the parameters, it will be marked in yellow or red. So the attributes provided by each manufacturer are not consistent, but generally set by reference to HDD S.M.A.R.T. Though HDD S.M.A.R.T has developed some standards, for SSDs, most S.M.A.R.T is customisable. Users can focus on a few essential parameters, such as bad blocks, erase count, etc. It is a system to monitor various health and status attributes from a drive. SSDs now support S.M.A.R.T technology which stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. How to tell the status of an SSD Step 1: Check S.M.A.R.T information If problems are detected with the SSD, depending on the severity of the problem, it will display "attention", "warning" and "failure". You should see an ok if your SSD works well. Run HDTuneProDriveStatus.exe and when it is started, an overview of all attached devices and their status is listed. Using third-party software to check SSD performance is more intuitive and Windows users can try HD Tune Pro. This command will allow you to get a general idea of your SSD's health status by providing the wear data, read-write errors and other details. Note: Replace the number "1" with the number of your SSD. Step 3: If you also want to retrieving SSD usage statistics, note the number of SSD from the above list and then enter the following command: Get-Disk 1| Get-StorageReliabilit圜ounter | Select-Object -Property "*" Step 2: Enter the below command in PowerShell: Get-PhysicalDisk ![]() Step 1: Press Windows+X and select PowerShell (Admin) from the context menu. You will now see all the drives listed and the status of each drive: " OK" if it's good, or " Pred Fail" if it has a problem. Step 2: Copy and paste wmic diskdrive get model,status in Command Prompt and press Enter. ![]() Step 1: Search cmd in the search bar and select Run as administrator.
