In today's post, we are going to explore how to check your SSD or NVME SSD lifetime.
You probably have this hardware running for quite some time. Each SSD or nvme has a lifetime based on usage on writing.
[Tool]
Download CrystalDiskInfo. Click here

The following was my hardware screenshot:
a) SSD -480 GB. Currently 97% healthy.
b) SSD - 1 TB
c) NVME SSD - 512 GB
d) External HDD - 480 GB
e) External HDD -WD 2 TB

Next is to use the brand and model to search for it original spec.
Example:- KINGSTON SA400S37480G. Refer to
here and check for TBW [Total Bytes Written]
Kingston:-
480 GB -> can support till 160 TB
960 GB -> can support till 300 TB
On CrytalDiskInfo, refer to Total NAND Writes, to see how much is current total write.
ADATA nvme ssd:-
512GB -> 320 TB
On CrystalDiskInfo, refer to Total Host Writes.
Currently, I have used 9320 GB. Roughly 9TB & still has a buffer to continue use: 311 TB
