Written amount of Data to my SSD

How do I find out how much data has been written to my older SSD ?

What brand of SSD are you talking about in this post?

Many of the manufacturers have a free utility to give you all your drive information. Intel, Sandisk, Samsung, etc.

Since you said "older SSD", I assume this isn't the Samsung 850 Pro drive from some of your other posts.

Total Bytes Written: 29.21 TB

Not bad.

That's the only reason I now keep these bundled "utilities" installed, even for multiple makes of SSDs. I might do just as well to delete them, tweak my settings manually for the SSDs as I already do, and install CrystalDiskMark.

Somewhere I read that many SSDs are "almost done for" when you reach 500TB of writes. I might be more inclined to use 300TB as my own milestone.

So far, none of our SSDs are reporting writes exceeding 5TB, but my favorite system, which abso-tively posi-lutely must sleep and hibernate more than once or twice daily, gives me some concern. I've trimmed the Hiberfil.sys to 10GB (20GB of RAM in the system), and the swapfile/page-file set to a maximum of 2048MB appears to be 1,024MB in size.

I guess the best thing to do is save some pennies here or there for a new SSD when I might need it, and watch the write tallies. My ADATA SP550 500GB cost me about $110, and I'd only expect prices to decline over the long run.
