SSD is dying ?

Swagata · Aug 24, 2016

So, I ran HD Sentinel today and found SSD has problem. Health 26%. 145 bad sectors. I also use SSD life but it shows no problem. Please look at the screenshot and comment.

I would say yes to it 'dying'. It might be days, weeks or even months but it could also be hours or minutes. I would get a replacement ASAP (I prefer Samsung 850 series SSD's. They come with transfer sw to move your current HDD/SSD to the new Samsung and it's super clean! They are also durable and fast!)

The shopkeeper gave me 5 years of warranty. If it dies, cant I ask for warranty ?

Not sure. He will most likely replace with same model/brand of SSD you might get a longer lasting unit but I tend to shy away from cheap components in my personal system. If he's willing to replace it free of charge and move you OS/data over, go ahead. If not and you can afford a better SSD, I reccomend the Samsung 850 or even 750 series of SSD. High quality!

Have very limited budget.And also limited product in my area. If I dont get warranty, I have buy from a cheap Corsair Force LE or Intel 535. Which one do u suggest ?

I would say either one would be better than what you currently have. Intel sells quality parts and Corsair is not bad either. Which ever you can afford and they have in stock. Better option than your current drive!

I know they are inferior. But I cant afford the top ones now. Intel one is given 5 years of warranty while the other one is 3 years. Its just when I first bought the Corsair one, I only bought because of its 5 years warranty.

I think you are thinking of the manufacturer warranty and not the reseller warranty. If the SSD dies, you will have lost your data. You need to do something before you SSD dies unless you have a FULL system backup. If you do, then you can wait for the drive to die. If not, you need to do something before it does.

No, the shop gave me 5 years of warranty. But its different in my country here. They may not give me warranty even if I have time left. This time if I buy one, I will buy from a reputable source. I dont have any data to lose if my ssd fails.
