What does the utility report for writes (TB's)? You could also try looking at another utility like CrystalDiskInfo, but they usually pull from the same SMART attributes.
Unless you have something in your system that's performing excessive writes (defrag, some backup software, or perhaps something misbehaving), the estimate is probably off. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2012 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] Intel SSD Toolbox I recently installed Intel SSD Toolbox 3.03 in order to check the firmware of my SSD X25-M80GB drive. I susequently updated to the latest firmware. However I was startled to see my drives summary screen which shows Drive Health as all green = Good but Estimated Life Remaining of only 25 percent! This drive was installed in May of 2010 a little over two years ago. The PC is on 24/7 but 25 percent left...that means I have less then a year of life remaing! Is this software accurate? Any comments Greg? thanks w
