Can you tell me the relative health of my SSD, from this CrystalDiskInfo screencap?

Hi,
I just purchased a used SSD (Samsung MZ-7PC128D), and ran it through the CrystalDiskInfo utility, to check for problems, and this is what I see:

Interpreting the results seems to be beyond the scope of my savvy. Can anyone kindly tell me if this result is good/bad/terrible, etc? Do you think the drive has plenty of life left in it - or should I send it back for a refund?

Thanks a million... :)

The drive is fine.

What I would be worried about are the 32,668 uptime hours.

That's almost 4 YEARS uptime, 3.72 years....

Just download Samsung Magician and install it to keep an eye on the drive.

That will also tell you what the TBW value.... THat's total Bites written, that's important.

Many thanks for the reply. That's somewhat reassuring - thanks! But yes, that does seem like a lot of usage. I wonder how much usage these SSD's can handle, on average. Unfortunately, Samsung Magician doesn't support this particular drive, for some reason. Nor does the earlier V4.0, I tried both versions earlier today. I'll have to find some other way of monitoring the drive. Perhaps I'll run CrystalDiskInfo every few weeks. I got the drive for a very low price, so if I can get a couple of years or more out of it I'll be satisfied...

Your primary (one might even say "only") focus should be on undertaking comprehensive backups of the data on that drive (as well as other drives in your system) from time to time so when the day comes that disaster strikes and you're left with an unbootable (assuming it's your boot drive) dysfunctional drive, you will have the means at hand to return your system to a bootable, functional system once again . All the rest is conversation. Capiche?
