Why is my new NVMe SSD showing 0% life after just 19 hours?
Asked by

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?

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!

What program are you using for the health check? Sometimes the tools can be misleading.
TechyTurtle89: I'm using the built-in tool from the Gigabyte Control Center.
