Hey folks, I've been using a Sabrent Rocket SSD NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 1TB in my gaming PC since 2020 and never really thought about checking its health until recently. I saw a video about CrystalDiskInfo and decided to give it a try, but now I'm feeling a bit confused about the readings. It showed the following:
- Health Status: Good (92%)
- Total Host Reads: 73,788 GB
- Total Host Writes: 54,389 GB
- Power On Count: 2,206
- Power On Hours: 10,260
Those write numbers seem high to me, which makes me a bit nervous. Should I consider getting a smaller SSD just for Windows and keep this one for games? Any advice on interpreting these numbers would really help. Thanks!

I've got an SSD that's over 10 years old and still running beautifully! You're likely in good shape with your current setup.
Your write volume of about 54TB is actually pretty low compared to what the SSD can handle—it's rated for around 1.6PB. You've got plenty of life left in it! If you're careful with your usage, this drive should serve you well for a long time. No worries!
Honestly, those numbers don't seem alarming at all. If your SSD is the model listed on Sabrent's site, it's designed for heavy use with TLC flash, which means it’s built to last. Just make sure you have backups—SSDs can sometimes fail unexpectedly, and it’s better to play it safe!
Personally, I just replace my drives after about 5 years, regardless of performance.
I appreciate the insight! I do keep backups just in case, especially since my last SSD failure was pretty sudden.
Just look at the health status—it says Good! That’s your answer right there. You're all set!
Looks like it's barely been used! I rarely check the health of my SSDs anymore because I trust they'll last longer than I need them to. If it says 'Good,' I wouldn’t stress over it too much.
That's awesome to hear! I was a bit scared I had overdone it, but now I feel more confident about continuing to use it.
