Hey everyone, I just installed a Kingston NV3 NVMe SSD, and I'm a bit worried. After only 19 hours of being powered on, it's showing 0% estimated life remaining! Here are some of the SMART data:
- Critical Warning: 0
- Composite Temperature: 316
- Available Spare: 100
- Percentage Used: 0
- Power On Hours: 19
It's really strange to see this so soon. Any ideas on what might be going on?

You might want to check out the Kingston SSD Tool as well. It’s really designed for their drives and can give you accurate insights. Here’s the link: https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/ssdmanager
What program are you using for the health check? Sometimes the tools can be misleading.
That’s really odd! It might be just an issue with the software you’re using to check the SMART data. Try using Crystal Disk Info to see if that gives you a different reading. You could also compare the write data to your usage and see if it aligns with what you expect. Let us know what you find!
I checked with Crystal Disk Info, and luckily it says 100% health. What a relief!
My Gigabyte tool has also messed up before, so that's a good call. Definitely worth checking!
I'm using the built-in tool from the Gigabyte Control Center.
