Hello everybody,

I've been using this SSD for ~2 years and when I checked it several months ago everything worked fine. However, yesterday I saw lots of N/A in SMART information as well as N/A in drive health. The disk is working (no windows errors, no lags), Magician speed test gives the same results as before.

Being quite a noob I'm asking for your help - should I really worry? what should I do now? Is my SSD dying?

Using Win10-64, latest bios/Magician/firmware. Q9400, 8GB DDR3 (no clocking), connected via SATA2 (MB doesn't have SATA3).
SSD is used for C: drive (boot system + programs/games + downloads, inc. torrents, so I definitely had several TB total written).

Hey there, Evaldino.

It seems like the SSD is well on its way to dying. :(
There seem to be a lot of failed SMART attributes. I'd recommend that you backup your data as soon as possible. After that try connecting the drive to a different computer to see if the same thing happens. [strike]You could also try updating the SSD's firmware and retest it.[/strike]
Basically having in mind the results you've posted, if I were you, I'd backup and get in touch with the SSD manufacturer's customer support and ask about RMA (if the drive is still under warranty).

edit: just saw that you've included "firmware" as well

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
