How Do I Know If My SSD Is Still Good?
Asked by
BlueSky123
I have a 250GB SSD that I use as my boot drive. I recently checked its health using CrystalDiskInfo, and it's showing about 76% remaining health. Is it safe to keep using it for a while longer? If so, when should I consider replacing it? I've had this drive for a couple of years, and I mostly just run basic applications like Steam (with my games on other drives), Discord, and VRChat.

Your SSD's health at 76% is still pretty good! Typically, SSD health is assessed based on how much data can still be written compared to the total capacity. Just keep an eye on it, and once it drops below around 10%, that’s when you should definitely think about a replacement. And remember, it’s always a smart move to back up your data, just in case!

GamerGirl42: That sounds like good advice! I’ve been planning to get a larger SSD, hopefully around December.
