Post your CrystalDiskInfo results. It's a mistery for me how to interprete them.Recently I bought a Crucial MX500 500GB 2,5" SSD for about 35 eur. Both Power on hours and Power on count are about 300. I get it.But I also bought a second hand full aluminium chassis 16" Lenovo laptop with Ryzen 7 5800H, 16 GB and 1 TB Samsung SSD for about 424 eur.Its CrystalDiskInfo result suprised me: Power on hours is only 87, however Power On Count above 12000. How is it possible?Did someone start this laptop for a few seconds or is it "powered on" only when data is being read/written?What else do you check when buying a second hand laptop? Battery cycle count is 26.
>>108788669Power on happens each time the device is power cycled. Power management can turn off the drive (potentially), standby will, shutdown will. Some information can be shown incorrectly. An old Intel SSD I have, for example, shows the power on hours incorrectly.I don't have a Windows PC so you can have this really old crystal disk screenshot instead.
>>108788669careful anons op is trying to harvest hard drive serial#'s.Here's my music/gaming/utility drive with 7.9 hours of runtime. I should probably back it up sooner rather than later.
These are my trusted storage drives. Glad I didn't buy seagate again.
Rate my drives /g/. How many are on borrowed time?

>2% on os driveshould i worry? it's like 8 years old
>>108791027Pft no lol don't worry even if it's at 50%
>>1087910272% left on an SSD? I want to see the picture
>>108788669>2026>Recently I bought a Crucial MX500 500GB 2,5" SSDholy fuck I didn’t know the memory situation is THAT badI can’t even remember when I used 500gb drives, like 12 years ago?seek jesus op
>>108788669as long as the drive is working, it's good to me
>>108790949The HGST drives have served me well over the years. I'm scavenging one from an old laptop to use in my new build.
>>108788669Power on hours for M.2 drives only ticks up while the drive is running at full power, it stops counting when it goes into power saving. SATA SSDs are more consistent since they typically stay active for a while after their last I/O before going to sleep, and some platforms have sleep disabled by default due to legacy compatibility issues.

>>108792737tell me it's gonna be ok doc
>>108798167you have two whole lifetimes remaining, you're good
>>108798167>posting in epic datamining threadSeems like people don't even use their disks. When I used windows that did eat my disk a lot but now, after being on linux for a while I get considerably less writes. This is work disk (I don't push just text files) though so it's going to get worn out eventually.
