SSD Smart Report: How am I doing?

[rook2pawn]

This SSD is my boot / everything SSD. I am on Win32XP, and no, i never put in a 4K manually aligned partition on it, and yes I am aware Win32 Does not support TRIM, and yes I am aware of doing everything to maximize lifespan (browser cache is 100% on a ramdisk, turn off paging, no virtual memory, no indexing)

However, I just want to know based on the SMART REadings if anyone knows how much longer does my SSD have to live?

I am looking at "% of Total Write/Erase Count (BC Blocks)" which has a max of 100 and i'm at 28...? its only a month or so old.

However according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.#Known_ATA_S.M.A.R.T._attributes that attribute is in "EA" Average erase count AND Maximum Erase Count
and not as important as E6, Drive Life Protection Status which i am at 6%/100%. Can anyone confirm? E6 is listed By SanDisk as % of total write/erase count, but Wikipedia has this listed as "Drive Life Protection Status"

Install CrystallDiskInfo (free), and see what it says, it might have more information than what sandisk's util reports.

If you are writing more than 10GB a day, then you will have a few years left on it.

Just noticed that crystaldisk also has a shizuku anime edition which features a real anime character with professional voice actor!! hahaaha.

As you can see, 197GB writes in 2327 hours... you got many years left.
(Assuming it don't develop bad blocks...)
Why did you partition such a small SSD anyway ?

Oh, you are referring to the fact that 64GB is split up into C: and D:?

If that is your question, my C: is 10GB and my D: is the remainder 54GB or so.

The reason I split them up is because my operating system is on C:, which I make a mirror of on D: after a fresh install, so that, if I ever install programs that mess certain things (i have this one poker program that inadvertently interferes with my Direct3D games video memory), i can simply go back to that mirror by doing a complete wipe of C: and using the mirror. DriveImage XML 2.42 is what i use and its available free on Hiren's BootCD. Very similar to GHOST and Acronis.
