I have a 256GB SSD that's showing some signs of aging, like really slow write speeds (sometimes a bit faster, though) and Windows indicating that the usable space is just 237GB. I decided to check its health using CrystalDiskInfo, but it shows that all current and worst values are 100, which confuses me because there are high raw values as well. Can anyone help me interpret this? Also, which specific attributes should I be monitoring closely? Here's a link to my [CDI screenshots](https://imgur.com/a/bayZ1DQ).

Honestly, it might be time to back up any important data and consider replacing the drive. How old is it?
It sounds like you’re dealing with a C7 issue, which could indicate problems with your SATA cables or ports. I've faced similar issues in the past, but after running benchmarks, I didn’t see any changes in my values. You might want to check the connections if you haven't already!

It's at least 3 years old, probably more.
