I've got a Crucial SSD that's showing just 4% health in CrystalDiskInfo after about four years of use. Is this typical for an SSD at this age, and how much longer can I expect it to last? I've already backed up my data, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'll add screenshots in the comments from both CrystalDiskInfo and Hard Disk Sentinel for reference.

After four years, only having 4% health on your SSD sounds pretty low. I checked the specs, and I believe that particular model has an endurance rating of around 80TBW. It seems like it might be failing earlier than average, so definitely keep that backup handy!
I recommend running the test again and saving that report. You could drop that report into ChatGPT for a detailed health assessment. It might give you more insights into what's going wrong.
I did that! It pointed to overused NAND as the issue, but I’m not really sure what that means.
Where did you find the info on the 80TBW? I started using the same Crucial BX500 in 2021 and I did back up my important data.
