Grant Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Most of the important fields come up as unknown, so it's not able to determine how much life is left.

Christopher (Drashna) Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Flagged this, so it should be added sooner or later: https://stablebit.com/Admin/IssueAnalysis/27983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher (Drashna) Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 This should be updated now. You can manually update this, or you can wait as it should refresh this every 7 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Well, glad I asked you to add it ...it must have refreshed on its own since I just got an email that disk has 1% life left. Kinda wish I hadn't installed the OS on it now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wait...are we sure that's right? It says 1% life left. But also says life time writes is only 391GB, average erase count 2 and max erase count 5. And power on time only 11 days Either some of those numbers are off, or this is an even crappier SSD than I thought it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomEvents Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm seeing the same issue, I woke up to a 1% life left notification (total writes of ~4.16TB) that sent me into a panic before I realized it was a garbage warning.

Grant Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Ok, I think I see what's happening here. I had a brand new fresh out of the package drive of the same model to test - on the brand new drive, it seems to interpret everything properly - it matches what CrystalDiskInfo and Kingston's own SSD Toolkit show. But on my older drive, it where it says 1% life left, it's wrong. Kingston's SSD Manager shows SSD Wear Indicator at 100% for the brand new drive, and 99% for the older one. CrystalDiskInfo shows a raw hex value for attribute E7 of 64 for the new drive, 63 for the old drive - that's equivelent to 100 and 99 in decimal. But CrystalDiskInfo shows the current value as 100 for the new disk and 1 for the old disk. Attached is a screenshot of all 3 programs. I think both Stablebit Scanner and CrystalDiskInfo are interpreting the value wrong. It looks like the raw value is the actually % life left, starting at 100 and counting down, not the normalized way many SMART values are interpreted. Kingston's SSD Manager interprets the value correctly. RandomEvents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
