System specs beneath my avatar.
So I was playing Fallout 4 and running HWInfo in the background because I wanted to check CPU and GPU usage and temperatures since I recently upgraded my graphics card and slightly increased my oc.
And I saw this:
Now my pc functions just fine and shows no signs of SSD failure.
I opened Sandisk SSD Dashboard and got this:
I checked BIOS and S.M.A.R.T. is enabled.
I had checked S.M.A.R.T. some months ago and it had worked just fine. However obviously I don't check it every day so I don't know when this problem started.
CrystalDiskInfo doesn't work either:
My questions are:
1) Why can't I check S.M.A.R.T. from Sandisk SSD Dashboard or from any other third party program?
2) Is HWInfo reliable when it is telling me that my SSD is failing (I have no symptoms of failure and discovered this by chance)?
3) Since I have Fallout 4 and all its mods installed on the SSD, why is my HDD (which I use only for general storage like photos, videos, documents) reaching 100% usage in the game?
