Hello everyone! I just have a quick question regarding a new replacement SSD I received from Amazon today. It's a Silicon Power Ace A55 128GB SSD and I have a few concerns regarding the readings I got from it in the Silicon Power Toolbox.
It seems strange to me that simply installing Windows and all of my applications would take the SMART reading all the way down to 99.77%, and that makes me question the longevity of the SSD. Also, when I first booted the toolbox up before installing my applications, it only said there was six bad blocks, now it says there are 44. This seems to be quite an alarming number.
Are all of these things normal on a lower-end SSD, or do these point to it being a faulty device?
