- SSDs offer much greater performance and durability than HDDs, but they aren’t invincible. How can you keep track of your SSD’s health to ensure you optimize your SSD lifespan?
Strengths and Weaknesses of SSDs
The NAND cells in your SSD can only be programmed and erased a finite number of times. This number can be affected by several factors. Extremes of temperature are one such factor. Power outages are another: loss of power during a write cycle can be calamitous. Power surges can also be extremely damaging. Surge protectors and uninterruptible power supplies can protect against these power issues, though.
Monitoring Your SSD’s Status
Maintaining and monitoring an SSD is a relatively simple affair. There are tools like wear leveling to prevent cells from burning out too quickly. There is also SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), a tool built into most modern HDDs and SSDs. Kingston SSDs come with the Kingston SSD Management app ( www.kingston.com/en/support/t... ), which provides all sorts of quality-of-life utilities for your drive integrity and data security concerns. Lastly, we recommend promptly updating your firmware, BIOS, and any essential drivers, to preserve best functionality for your drives.

I can't 😳🥴🥵🤤
These videos always give my HDD more life.... I went there.
I Just spent a fortune on 2tb ssd and now I'm hearing my hdd will be still be responsible for keeping most of my stuff.
Appreciate your honesty
I’d like Kingston to make their drive maintenance software available for Linux.
Sorry use a better OS if you want support.
@@silvy7394 Windows 11 is better than Linux? LMAO it’s actually the other way around I have no problem using Linux while I get a BSOD on Windows 11 a lot
The Kingston SSD Manager is not compatible with Mac OS or Linux distributions at the current moment but we will notate your request. Thank you. kings.tn/3cbZMEU
@@alpzepta Says the guy crying in the comments about no software support because of his "superior" OS
There are Linux Utilities to check HDD/SDD health. Linux Mint has one preinstalled
Hi Trisha, I ran across your channel and I am enjoying it. I am a 61 year old disabled person and I love to learn about computers. I thank you for, well, talking like an actual person. You do not either "Dumb it down" to the point that I feel insulted, (Most of the other channels do that very thing, or they do this>) or talk so far over my head I feel useless listening and trying to learn from. Again, thank you and please keep sharing and teaching us.
I have a computer repair shop the majority SSD drives that we have fail are usually Kingston branded ones
😂😂
Never used Kingston SSD's but their RAM has never failed me in all the decades I've been using it. For SSD's I don't use consumer-grade ones, & opt for high-end "professional" enterprise/datacenter-class pricier ones that will last forever for a gamer & home-user.
We can't tell why this is without objective data. It might be because more people are buying them compared to other brands. A company that sells 10,000,000 drives will have more drives fail than a company that sells 1,000,000 drives for example due to sheer volume alone. Not defending Kingston here, just giving some perspective.
What you'll want to look for is an over-provisioning feature on the SSD. This feature basically allows you to dedicate more flash storage space towards the read/write blocks. This means swapping between more blocks which results in less damage over time on the SSD. The downside is you lose some storage space.
I still have a 2.5 Kingston SSD (120GB) as a boot drive since 2017 and it still has 76% on the wear level indicator today. They definitely do last a long time especially with the higher capacities. Kudos to Kingston's longevity. :D
I've had a Micron 250GB die on my but my Kingston 2.5" 120GB lives on in an old laptop
Awesome to hear, thanks for your comment!
yeah i have never had a problem with the hardware aspect of an ssd.
I have kingston a400 120gb ,since last year and i have 86% health..
@@Miladinovic. As a boot drive right? I don't write huge files like games and videos to SSD. I leave that to my HDD.
1. SMART can be analyzed using crystaldiskinfo
2. TRIM is automatically done in Windows and Linux
3. Longevity and reliability is based on the quality of the binned chips. Low quality bins are cheaper but also can die way faster.
Excellent presentation Ms. Hershberger. Thank you 🙂
simpy :)
one advantage of spinning hard drives, a lot of the time they will give you warning signs via noise.. I have drives from the 1990s that still work. I am not sure any ssd will last 25 years and they give no warning because they are silent.
Well ssd-s arent for long term storage, but for runnig operating systems and applications anyway. (atleast for normal people, rich people can buy them bulk if they want it)
@Steve Mar. I have had several fail with no warning at all.
@Steve Mar. If i need backups (what im doing from my most important files every week) im gonna using hdds. And magnetic tapes? Pssst, that's baby sh*t, i want 5D optical data storage crystals for backups right now!
So the moral of the video we still need hdd for data storage
yes. especially for long term.
@@Delgen1951 for images & videos need space more than speed
Speaking of longevity, my KINGSTON Data Traveler 2.0 with 8GB is still working with most of the 8GB still intact today. The drive is from 2009 I think.
As a system builder, I only recommend KINGSTON for memory and storage. My latest acquisitions are the 64GB RENEGADE RGB DDR5-6000MT memory kits. Those are fantastic and look cool at the same time.
In my experience the realistic failure cause of an SSD is from the controller rather than NAND durability. Kind of like how most LED bulbs fail from their controller before LED itself wears out.
oddly, i mostly encounter actual led failures (detached bondwires causing chaotic flickering and soon complete death)
Hmmm
Thanks for the Tips, was nice seeing KSM work and all 6 SSD's in perfect condition :) Just to add though, I still haven't had a Kingston SSD Fail yet and my oldest Hyper X SSD (2015) is still going hard ;)
Been tracking my SSDs usage for two years now and it has a predicted 97 years lifetime…

My SATA SSD did exactly as you described, out of the blue would not boot. Also failed attempts at repair including using Windows DVD. It’s a Kingston Hyper X. Never stored in the oven nor refrigerator. Typical usage in a typical home. Drive wasn’t near full and less than 2 years old.
Great video. I just installed a Kingston 2TB m.2 NVME in my desktop and wanted a utility to monitor and report on temperature and errors. This app looks great. Thanks for the great content.
You guys made me purchase two A400 240GB SSDs. I had this DT50 8GB which I used for installing operating systems on. I rewritten it a lot of times and it still feels like its brand new. Its durable too
Awesome to hear, and thanks for the feedback. To make sure your SSD's health and firmware are up to date, please make sure to download our SSD Manager on the PC's the A400's are installed in/ For more info please vist our site here: kings.tn/47sNpeW
I own about 10 ssds from 60GB to 1TB, ages range from 4 to 10 years old. None have failed and are worn out only 10% or less. I had many hdd failures, which I usually replace every 3-5 years. Still I keep a second copy of everything on external hdds. Ymmv.
Now I know I'm old. I look up Trisha pictures on Google and my first thought was "where does she get those outfits?" Nice presentation that shows some actual knowledge of the subject and not just reading a script. And I have a LOT of Kingston SSDs. Two in my latest build.
stunning! now to replay it with audio only so I can follow along 😅
Great video with some essential information 👌👌
Like that tri-force necklace! Great tech tips!
Some drives can wear-level cells used for long term storage by first moving that data other cells and returning the original cell to the pool of free cells. Kingston should think about doing that, since it will dramatically increase the endurance of drives that are nearly full.
Hi Paul, as a general overview, we use controllers utilizing advanced wear leveling technology, which distributes the number of P/E cycles (program/erase) across the flash memory evenly. For more information please visit our site here: kings.tn/3JhU3cR
A modern smart UPS has line conditioning, full sine wave for FT power supplies and voltage correction (AVR). This should make any SSD happy.
WDC Black is my cup o' tea when it comes to mechanical and SSD drives. Used to be EVO for some reason but i decided to switch. I ve been using only WDC since late 90s so i thought screw Samsung stick to WDC both ways so now i have an NVME WDC half a terra SSD as well besides the 2 WDC black 3.73 TB each. HDDs may be ourdated but the black edition from WDC is durable no wonder it significantly more expensive than the other color editions.
You are the BEST Trisha! 🙂🙂👍👍
I have 2x Kingston 240Gb SATA SSD as a System Drive to install WIndows and Application.
I have manualy set all my data and temporary drive on my other mechanical harddrive.
After 3 years of use, still have 99% wear level, because have minimal lifetime writing, just about 2.000 - 3.000 GB.
The best protection for SSD is the RAM - if the SSD has DRAM cache will last much longer than those without for a typical user.
So Kingston, ad RAM to your SSD's.
Yes, more system RAM, it is less likely SSD will operate as virtual memory
Not exactly what he meant
DRAM cache on SSD is not the same as system RAM.. but having more system RAM should help avoid SSD as paging
True
Recently a friend of mine bought the XS2000 external ssd which is recognized on 2 different PCs upon connecting but not his own PC, not even in disk management even tho appears in the taskbar with the "safe remove" option.
Any ideas?
Problem solved. He didn't have installed his motherboard drivers.
I Love Your Triforce Necklace Very Much :-)))))
I don't have an ssd, but I have a tip, how to extend the life of memory drives, pen drives, and memory cards. Assuming that your pc or phone isn't on blacklist, you have to switch to sleep or standby few times, after you bought your drive. It will reduce heat, and in some cases it will be slower. Playing some computer games will enable secret better functions, your drive memory card will be faster than the factory default.
Find this video rather comical and ironic myself. The only two SSDs I've ever had fail on me, were Kingston. The only RAM I've had fail on me, was Kingston. The only USB drive I had fail on me, was Kingston.
Summary. Avoid Kingston. 😆
Hi there, it is very unfortunate that you had that experience with our products. Did you reach out to our Tech Support for help with troubleshooting your parts and check your Warranty? If not and you still have the parts in hand, please drop us a line here: kings.tn/3PjYDt7
I’m using Kingston Products even since before the host of this show was born - never had any Problems. I guess you had a strain of bad luck then.
On my last SSD(not from Kingston) SMART not reported that SSD has broken Chips (Read/Write Errors) ....
Oh thank-you. Searching for same thing since I bought new device
What about turning off defragment?
You're the tech version of Anna Akana and I'm loving it
Another banger!
I have SSD and a hard drive on my laptop. The SSD is my boot device and the hard drive is for my files and most of my software installations. I already had this configuration for more than a 2 year now and I haven't experienced a dead SSD yet. I use Hard Disk Sentinel to monitor the health and status of my drives, still have both a 100% health and performance on both drives. I'm just curious on how SSD dies, will the health slowly decreases or will it just dies in an instant?
The efficiency decreases over time
Hello,
Yes the ssd will eventually hit its end of life, It means it has reached it total bytes written and will eventually need to be replaced. It is the nature of all solid state volumes.
you can sometimes fix it with a little bit of soldering. It's 50/50.
What about over provisioning?
is it ok if I apply this to other brand?
so, how much free space for wear levelling? it doesnt make sense if it need 50% of free spaced
and is partitioning is fin for NVME? i just need 2 partition
kinda makes you question why i would want to switch from an hdd if buying a 2 TB drive means i can only really use 1 TB of it.
iirc, the numbers are the same as an hdd. Keep about 15% free.
@@Mr1Tanker thanks
You forgot something..Never ever create more than one partition on a SSD no matter the capacity :) Great video anyway
Why? 🤔
@@LeeMooEez Because by doing this the ssd writes between the both partitions...Windows partition always fluctuates in capacity,writes and clean itself because of the windows updates and temp files and so on....
When you install Windows to an SSD, it creates AT LEAST 3 partitions. An EFI partition, a MSR partition and a primary partition. And no, partitions don't randomly expand and shrink all the time, that's simply absurd.
@@Melody666 I meant the free space from C partition (for example I have a 970 Evo Plus 500Gb and the free space fluctuates between 346-357gb once at a few days) and I also meant "Do not create manual partitions for a ssd" except the recovery ones witch create automatically,and u don t use them and are invissible in "This PC"
@@andreib.1445 Nah, got the c partition and other one for games. I always leave free space both of them.
may I ask if fan cooled SSD is coming?
Thats literally useless
There’s heatsink but fan is useless
SSDs will get hot, if you write to them for, perhaps, ½hour or longer without rest.
But that is not too bad.
If you are doing something that writes to the SSD for hours and hours, without rest, then all the SSD needs is a light breeze to carry away its heat.
If you have a fan in your case, and its air flows across the SSD, then your SSD will never get hot.
Great video. Mam
You are awesome!
Should I defrag my SSDs or does windows do it automatically?
don't ever force defrag on a ssd, just select optimize thru a 3rd party app, especially for operating systems prior to windows 7
Very nice
How often should you run optimize on an SSD? And could it shorten a SSD's read/write endurance if done too often?
Not by much, there will be ~1GB written on 1TB SSD, so you can theoretically do it on daily basis, but once or twice a week should be fine.
Hello everyone, you can get more information here: kings.tn/3PWJU8e
it should be automatic(on windows at least). Better not mess with it. And do NOT defragment ssd ever.

I have a Kingston SSD (KINGSTON OM8PCP3512F-AI1), when ever I boot up the Kingston SSD Manager it didn't detect my SSD, in the event logs it showed Detected as the primary drive, KScode3 identify failed. Can you help me with it? The drive came with my laptop MSI Bravo 15 B5DD.
Hello Anh,
Please send us a direct message via Facebook Messenger or Instagram, so we can assist you.
If you want them to last buy Samsung SSD, it is simple. I have 3 ssd's from Kingston all went bust. The longest one of them survived was 1 and a half years. Since I bought Samsung the oldest is 3 years old and going strong.
Most of them were for Windows and cad applications so not such high load of read/write. I am never buying Kingston again, not even bothered to go for warranty after the first one got replaced and died 8 months later. Time wasted to reinstall everything is dissapointing. All of them started slowly not being recognised at boot requiring few resets to get picked up untill they finally give up. I have become expert in estimating how long remaining before they croke.
Mine, I disable Scheduled optimization/Auto Defrag,
and Indexing.
Will it work the same to not fill the partition to the total size of the drive ?
Lets say you have a 500GB windows MBR. The first little bit says 'system reserved' , next partition is the main & has a File letter C: >> you don't have to fill the C: all the way to the end. You can leave as much empty space as you wish. For example you can make the C: partition, only 300GB. Later in time you can make the partition bigger. In this case, in disk management it will say "unused" .
Does this unused drive space count towards the advice >> don't fill the drive all the way & delete unnecessary files to free space
You just described , how "overprovisioning" works. Yes, you could just watch out not to fill you SSD to >95% (or >90% for system drive) OR just leave 5% non-partitioned space on it. Samsung Magician suggests between 1 and 10% for overprovisioning, don't know about kingston tools.

@2:59 imagine that. To make your SSD last longer, you need to stop using it. Lol..
Interesting vid, but the wear leveling seems a bit oversimplified/off. I'm assuming Kingston uses static wear leveling and not dynamic wear leveling (had to look those terms up admittedly).
Hello Chris thank you for your comment. As a general overview, we use controllers utilizing advanced wear leveling technology, which distributes the number of P/E cycles (program/erase) across the flash memory evenly. For more information please visit our site here: kings.tn/3JhU3cR
The amount of 120gb Kingston I have failed in my dead disk pile is hilarious.
We did but loads of them and the customers did fill them but still a lot of a400 disks.
As far as I understand wear leveling, (completely opposite to what was presented here), is that a block used for a long term storage file, is still shuffled around so that nand cell gets a new file written to it. This effectively averages out all the writers evenly against all the nand cells. That’s what wear leveling is, not what was depicted here
does sleeping rather than shutting down laptop degrade ssd faster?
i have alot of power outages how do i protect my ssd. UPS sounds expensive
> "UPS sounds expensive"
Notebook => new battery ??
Desktop => DIY UPS ???
the one shown is around 60-70 bucks on amazon
Like any other product, a UPS price ranges from $50 to $100,000 or more.
There are UPSs that can run a small town.
There are basically 3 types of UPSs:
1) Standby
2) Line Interactive
3) On-Line
#1 is the cheapest.
It is basically a bucket of batteries.
The UPS will switch to the batteries of you have a blackout, or if the power drops very low.
It will probably offer basic surge suppression.
It will allow you to gracefully shut down your computer if you have a blackout, and will keep your computer from crashing if the power goes out for ½ a second.
#2 will boost or trim the power, if the power from the utility company is outside of the range it should be in.
This level of UPS will probably offer much better surge suppression.
It will be much better choice, compared to #1.
#3 is the holy grail of clean and reliable power delivery.
On this level, the UPS takes the A/C power from your wall, converts it to D/C power, and then converts that D/C power back to A/C power (dual conversion).
This means that your computer will never see the power from your utility company. Your computer will always be fed newly generated power from your UPS.
To perform the dual conversion, between 5% to 10% of your power will be lost, in order for the UPS to perform the dual conversion. So your electric bill will go up. And the UPS will be slightly noisy, because it needs a fan to keep itself cool while doing the dual conversion.
This level of UPS will also offer the highest surge suppression.
Large computer companies, such as Microsoft, eBay, Google, etc, use the #3. But they do make ones for personal use.
What else is there to consider?:
How much power do you need your UPS to produce if it goes to its battery (for example, in a blackout)?
If you need only 250 watts, then they will not cost as much as one that can produce 1500 watts or more.
Also, how long will you want the UPS to be able to run during a blackout, before its rechargeable batteries are drained?
Bigger, longer lasting batteries will cost more.
I use a model by APC: BN1500M2
It fits #2's description.
Lastly, since a UPS has batteries, you will have to replace the batteries every 4 or 5 years (more often if it has cheap batteries).
When you take ownership of your UPS, check the date of the manufacturing of the batteries. If they are older than 6 months, then consider returning it. Batteries go bad over time, regardless of whether or not they are sitting idle or being recharged.
Whether replacing a car battery, or a UPS battery, I draw the line at 6 months.

Don't forget backup!!!!
Want a bigger tip and the ultimate lifesaver? Clone the system SSD! I keep double SSD system backups on a weekly rotational basis using M.2 NVME drives mounted onto external USB containers. I use a bootable USB flash drive created by Macrium Reflex for each of the PC systems to clone. Cloned SSDs are in the identical format as the system drive by folders and files-not a proprietary image file. My C drives are for system and apps only. File storages are on separate disk drives that also are backed up to other disk drives.

What is the reading life cycle of ssd …?
Hello we measure our consumer SSDs on TBW (Total Bytes Written) and our Data Center SSDs on Drives Writes Per Day (DWPD). For more info please visit our website: kings.tn/3c5lASu
@@kingston you could have just given a flat short answer, this is just pushing through traffic to your site, pretty shameful man.
@@kingston did not answer "Sudhansu Sekhar Sahu's" question.
The answer is infinite. If there is a limit, no one has ever reached it. I challenge Kingston to claim otherwise, and it is bizarre that they dodged your question.
"Reads" take no toll on SSDs.
And when it comes to "Writes", you can ignore the TBW value, because any drive (without a defect) will be able to write 10x (or more) than the TBW value, with no performance issues.
The only issue with the TBW value is that the manufacturer uses it as an excuse to end your warranty when you hit that number (even though the the amount that you used the drive played zero role in the drive failing).

Instead of a UPS & a big hulk'n desktop computer I use only a laptop of the same power and config.
Fear mongering. I have a SSD from over 10 years ago. I've used it in many laptops with many different OSes. My use case is abnormal and uses more write cycles. It's not going to immediately die. That's obsurd.
You clearly have not been using computers in countries with a 'less than optimal' power grid. At one point in time even one of my UPS's caught fire, because of a power failure. Who knew it didn't like 400 Volt....that was the most extreme power failure I encountered. And yes, I lost over 40 mainboards to over-voltage & under-voltage in the grid and more than 100 HDD's over a period of 15 years.
I have not been applying SSD's for that long in the workstations and servers I need to manage, but 2 already died. Those really seemed to hate under voltage in the grid. You know what the best thing is you can do to extend the life of your desktop computer equipment? Using a high quality power supply in your desktop. And using a tool, called: HDSentinel (if you do not own a Kingston SSD). That monitors the temperatures and SMART state from any of your SSDs and HDDs.
We are talking about electronic devices. Those die. Usually at a improper moment.
The tone of your post suggests that you have not experienced the "you lack imagination"-part of the saying "If you think things cannot get any worse, you lack imagination". Consider yourself blessed.
Which model? She didn't say that they don't or won't last that long. My SNV125 (30 GB) still works. It was reporting read errors on Linux, but that was from a USB external enclosure. I have to connect it to a free SATA port and perhaps KSM, in Win10, will detect it.
10 years ago the endurance and program / erase cycles of the NAND flash was very different to todays. Endurance is a trade off vs price and capacity. NAND flash degrades over time, with its first day being the best.
@@geroldmanders9742 "You clearly have not been using computers in countries with a 'less than optimal' power grid."
That is the fault of the power grid; not the SSD.
"At one point in time even one of my UPS's caught fire, because of a power failure."
That should not happen.
Which brand and model USP caught on fire.
"Who knew it didn't like 400 Volt"
When you plug in an electrical device in an outlet not designed for that electrical device, you are causing the failure (or the fire).
"And yes, I lost over 40 mainboards to over-voltage & under-voltage in the grid and more than 100 HDD's over a period of 15 years."
That points to a shoddy UPS.
Which manufacturer and which model?
"Those really seemed to hate under voltage in the grid."
So do TVs, microwave ovens, and just about any devices that are designed for one voltage and you deliver the wrong voltage. A quality UPS is designed to remedy dirty power from your utility company.
Automate the health check-up in your OS... skip video lol. The only other thing I can think to do is to get a battery so that you can save your work and shutdown, if you are using a laptop like me, problem solved lol.
Oooph, is this not an own goal for Kingston. SATA S11 errors anyone? Only PSY seem to also use the Phison 3111 controller on their SSDs and they're known for cheaping out on parts, number of Kingston SSDs I've had fail at work.

Hi Trisha Hershberger, you're so fast and Smooth like ssds
SSD limited read write keeps me stuck on spinning drives.
You will never wear out any SSD that comes with a new computer (or even any additional SSD purchases from reputable brads).
That TBW value only ends your warranty. The drive will continue to work at full speed, even if you repeat the TBW value 10 more times. No one really knows how much you can write to wear out an SSD. If SSDs were being worn out, there would be news about it somewhere. But there is no news, because no one wears them out.
They might fail, but not because of being worn out.
