Hey everyone! I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my SSD's health. I'm using GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER to monitor my Kingston NV2 1TB SSD. Here's what it shows:
- Model: KINGSTON SNV2S1000G
- Power-On Time: 1388 hours (about 2 months of use)
- Temperature: around 39°C (103°F)
- Drive Health: Poor
- Estimated Life Remaining: 0%
However, if I check the S.M.A.R.T. details in the same software, they look just fine:
- Critical Warning: 0
- Available Spare: 100%
- Percentage Used: 5%
- Data Units Read: ~72 million
- Data Units Written: ~29 million
It's strange because while the software claims poor health and 0% life left, the S.M.A.R.T. stats suggest everything is normal. I haven't experienced any system crashes, slowdowns, or freezes while using my computer, including gaming. But this 'Poor' status with '0% life' is a bit concerning. Any insights? Thanks!

Great that you checked with CrystalDiskInfo! That confirmed your SSD is actually 95% healthy. It's a good reminder that sometimes the software can mislead us. Keep an eye on the health reports regularly!
I recommend using Kingston SSD Manager to check the health of your SSD instead: https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/ssdmanager. I trust that tool more than GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER. Also, checking with CrystalDiskInfo is a good idea to cross-verify.
