SSD dead, or dying?

Wonder what would have caused mine to die...

If you have a LBA file sector size of 512 bytes, that is 23 TB written to your drive. If your sector size is 4kb, it jumps to a rather large 185 TB written.

Since it's a headless server I'd imagine it could be constant logfiles being written, perhaps a full swap file/partition causing lots of disk writes?

Out of curiosity I checked my work machine and found that it too had lacklustre lifetime for some odd reason:

SK Hynix SC308 m.2 256GB
Power-on hours: 13283 (553 days)
Power cycle count: 253
TBW: 13 059 GB
Life Remaining: 28%

My home drives below for refence:

OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5"
Power-on hours: 20765 (865 days)
Power cycle count: 842
TBW: 9624 GB
Life remaining: 97%

Samsung 850 Evo 2.5"
Power-on hours: 6720 (280 days)
Power cycle count: 650
TBW: 10 500 GB
Life remaining: 98%

What software gave you those numbers? I also battle to interpret smartctl's output...

SSDLife, sadly it's only available with Windows machines AFAIK unless you run it in Wine

Normally Wine doesn't work well with stuff that needs specific access to hardware. Will have a look and see what I can see though... Thanks!

Looks like I'm good for a while, it is a enterprise drive though...



I should probably clean up some of the crap installed on it.
