Hey all,
Hope you guys can give me an answer to whether my SSD is going to break down soon or not...
The last few days I have been experiencing freezing of the pc and then reboots. I started to read a bit as to what the cause could be and subsequently updated the firmware to its latest version.
Finally I ran crystaldiskinfo which gave me the following output:

Can anybody give me an indication whether there is something wrong with this disk as there is a high uncorrectable error count??!?

Thank you in advance,
bas

True, however even after running garbage collection, idleing SSD while in BIOS for 6-8 hours does not give an improvement in the uncorrectable errors. After having upgraded the firmware the problem seemed to continue. I deleted all software from my laptop and the problems seemed to dissapear. Still, the SSD seems to be damaged permanantly if I interpret the uncorrectable error count right?! should i flash the drive? or should i not worry about these errors?
Thanks again!
 
What I can suggest you is to backup the important data, and do a full format, then clean install OS, run CrystalDiskInfo again and look for the errors counting. If its stay the same then there's not much to worry about.

But if its under warranty you may RMA it.
