If I use my SSD past it's rated endurance, does it mean my SSD will die afterwards?

"does it mean my SSD will die afterwards?"

Yes, nothing lasts forever. Thank You!

Looks like I need to backup! The Crucial MX500, looks faulty to me!

Hi,
Dang guessing you've already contacted crucial support ?

freeagent · Feb 4, 2021

I had a Crucial M4 256 just stop working with 96% life left. If it wants to die you cant make it stay

Many reasons exist for a drive to “die”.
TBW is only one of them. Controller and it’s power supply/feed system are others...

Hi,
MX is an old line BX is a little newer.
My first ssd's were mx100's still working 5-6 years ago

One mx100 256gb linux mint 17 killed it by never running trim and it filled up and died
Crucial sent a refurbished as replacement, kind of the pissy thing about crucial they don't sent new replacements but it still works think I have win-10 on them benchmark ssd since I don't use 10 all that much.

I still don't get what TBW means. I have looked up google and to my knowledge, endurance is all about warranty.

Throw back Wednesday=TBW lolz!

Nope.

BX is their economy drives MX is their higher end drives. The MX500 and BX500 series drives came out right around the same time(the MX500 might be a couple months older).

I don't like it how the reported percentage is plunging just from game videos, and possibly just Windows CUs!

Based on a calculation I did weeks ago, I would be lucky to get 5 years out of it before it fails. Looks likely that it's sub-5-years now! Looks like many spinners are more reliable than this SSD!

That's ok, 5 year warranty comes in handy :cool:

Hi,
Here's the mx100 256gb refurbished replacement still kicking
I'll post the other mx100 256gb and add it to the this post it's an original but on a very old acer socket 775 with Q9550 so sata is a lot slower

The CrystalDiskInfo health percentage is 100% bullplop and no one should be looking at it.

It's based on nothing. It is as far as I'm concerned a made up number.

The important stats on SSD are, TBW vs. rated TBW and Unused Reserve NAND Blocks. Those are the only real things that will tell you the life of an SSD.

Yest Crystaldiskinfo will rate a drive at 80% or lower when the TBW isn't even 5% of the drives rated TBW, and the drive hasn't used a single reserve NAND blocks. So you have to ask, what is that number even based on if not the actual life statistics of the drive?

At 12,901 power on hours, my Intel 660p QLC SSD is showing 94% of its rating remaining.
At 9892 power on hours my Team Lite L5 TLC SSD is showing 100% rating

QLC are less durable but I am not worried as I have backups on hard disk and then i back up to BD for extra insurance.

Same company as who make the Team Dark L3 drives ?, as mines been all over the place for a hell long time now.
