Essentially it's saying you've used 15% of the drive's lifespan and at your current rate, the drive would be unable to write any more data by November 9th 2023 - this only takes into account that one single indicator of health, nothing else. I know that this SSD probably shouldnt be trusted for anything critical for data and use, but the 85% just to me makes no sense and so maybe someone can explain why 85% is healthy and what 15% is missing etc or if this is some sort of health score instead of capacity etc.Ĩ5% health on SSD-Life does not indicate the drive has lost 15% of its capacity or that it's unhealthy, SSD-Life only gives you a best guess as to when the drive's erase cycles will be used up. Just added the crystal disk screenshot as I was typing this since pictures are better than words. Using Crystaldiskinfo it had issues reading the SSD and not sure if this is because the OS I am running is XP, but Crystaldiskinfo reported the 85% health initially with everything greyed out and thats when I looked for a different tool to assess the SSD's health. In the one screenshot I pointed out some problems detected with the drive using SSD-Life. It seems to be behaving after a clean install of Windows XP Home SP3 to it, that is why the used capacity is so little in the one screenshot is because its XP Home SP3. I ended up installing this SSD into my recent build where i wanted to make a power efficient workstation for surfing and flash games vs running my better faster power hungry systems. shouldnt I be missing 15% of my drives capacity as for shouldnt it have shrunk with dead cells etc or is the reserved space allocated for lost cells great enough capacity to have relocated reserved cells to replace the dead ones without a capacity loss? how is 85% of 100% excellent for health?Īs well as if only 85% is healthy then. And a trial of SSD-Life states that the Drive is Excellent. The confusion is that the tools I am testing this SSD with state 85% Healthy. Removed this SSD and moved her over to the HDD that was in the system and so she is back up and running on Windows 7, but this SSD when checking into corruption with some tools left me sort of confused.

So my wifes computer that was running on this OCZ Agility SSD had a Windows 7 crash with data corruption causing Windows 7 to fail to boot.
