SSD wear level

[Pelle1]

Hi

My question is quite simple. I´m having an Elite book 2560 with SSD disk. It quite old by now, about 7 years but works fine. What I would like to know is the remaining estimated lifetime for the SSD. The HP hardware support assistant says that the SSD wear level is 10%. The question: is that the remaining life or lifetime used? I know that some SSD tools starts on 100% and counting down, but is it the some with HP Hardware support assistant?

I don't think HP used HP SSD on your machine. For many hardware from many vendors, they use MTTF to indicate how reliable their products. For example product can work over 100 years. Do you believe them ?

Anyway, I did post my observations and experiences few year back. SSD's lives can vary, some simply die just after 5 years, some take longer and they WON'T tell you when they die. No one, no tool can predict when it is going to die, some symptons may help us to say it will die soon but can be next week, next month or next hour. Again when it dies, it dies.

Hope this makes sense

Regards.

Thanks’ for your answer but it wasn’t exactly an answer on my question. SSD: s are designed for a limited number of write operations per memory cell. How many depends on the purpose (and price) of the SSD. The wear level tool indicates, I suppose, how many write operations used in average. The SSD can of course live longer than deigned, or shorter, but I suppose the wear level gives an indication on the remaining lifespan. My question was about the HP wear level tool, is it indicating write operations left or used?
