Having difficulties to understand Wear Count of my Samsung 850 Evo.. Kindly Help

vikbot · Feb 2, 2016

Hello,
Almost 5 months ago I had bought Samsung 850 EVO 120GB SSD.. Now it's showing Wear Leveling Count at 177... Is this normal for it to show value of 177 with almost 1.85 TB data written ?
My Samsung 850 Pro 512GB is around 4 month's old but not showing any wear level like the 850 EVO 120GB.... Now is my 850 EVO going to die before reaching 75TB milestone because of Wear Leveling Count ? Or Wear Leveling Count doesn't matter ? (Really don't understand this things)

Hard Disk Sentinel already showing the SSD has 99% health left.... Kindly help me to understand this thing

BTW, I'm using Windows 8.1

I would not worry about it. Unlike HDDs, SSDs will wear out over time. Your has a looong time of writing ahead of it. The really important counters about uncorrectable block reads and runtime bad blocks all look perfect.

Yeah I mean anything of real importance (photos, documents) I backup to external hdd and keep on my internal hdd. I've had a 840 ssd with 30tb written and it seems fine!

Don't overthink things here, the drives are meant to have a decent life. Use it, don't micromanage it. There is a line from Kung Fu Panda I like to use "one often meets one destiny on the road you take to avoid it". Meaning you are worried about your SSD usage, so you run scans on it, causing more usage, making the life shorter by trying to find out how much use it gets LOL
