HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Shows 14% for Storage Solid State Drive Wear Level

What does this mean?

Should I consider replacing the SSD?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, Wear leveling is a technique that some SSD controllers use to increase the lifetime of the memory. The principle is simple: evenly distribute writing on all blocks of an SSD so they wear evenly. I would suggest considering replacing the SSD will resolve this issue. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Here is a clear picture of the Diagnostics page for the storage is says SSD Wear Level is 15% and it was 14% last month.

Is this bad or good? I mean was it 100% from 4 years and now 15% - or there was 0% wear and now it's 15%?

Please answer me as all other SSD tools sayd the SSD is good.

Also if it's bad, can this cause system crash or freeze?

Thanks again.

Thank you for posting back. 

Let's test the hard drive using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics in order to isolate the issue.
Please click here to download sp98768.exe, or go to the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Supporting Website.

1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer.
2. Press the Power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
3. Turn on the computer and start pressing Esc repeatedly, about once every second. When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
4. When the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics menu displays, click Component Tests.
5. In the Component Tests menu, click Hard Drive.
6. Click the Quick Test.
7. Click Run once. If the computer has more than one hard drive, click Test All Hard Drives. The Quick Test begins.
8. If the computer has more than one hard drive, select the drive you want to test. To test all the hard drives, select Test All Hard Drives.

When a test is complete, the results display on the screen. Test results are also available in the Test Logs on the main menu.

If the hard drive passes the Quick Test, but a problem still exists with the hard drive, run the Extensive Test. This test includes the SMART Check, Short DST, Optimized DST, and Long DST. To run a specific test, select it from the Hard Drive Tests menu.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
