Hard Disk Monitoring

To bump an old thread for me but I wanted to report back in. The Crucial CT512 SSD was replaced in 2018. However I still used it as a scratch drive for various disk intensive tasks. It's now hit 161.95TB and still passes all tests and there's been no performance drop. Considering the rated life was ...

I've recently decided to go the offline disk route for long term storage. I'd still like to keep all of the SMART data that was collected in life. How can I export all of this to another installation of HD Sentinel?

Yep - new one cloning right now! I'll use the old one as a scratch/torrent drive - there's nothing noticeably wrong and I saw a study where SSD's could go past 6-10x their rated life. Wouldn't risk it on an OS Drive but on a temp drive it's fine and provide a welcome speed boost. https://techreport....

PS - just ordered the Samsung 860 Evo on next day. Rated for 2400tb written. I'm not running the VM's before but it's crazy that I killed this SSD in 3.5 years.

I've sent the test report to you.

I'll order another one! Lucky I installed HD Sentinel in time- was just tweaking my server setup.

I've got a Crucial CT 512GB MX100 SSD. I just installed HD Sentinel on the machine and it warned me that my life time writes were 144TB and percentage of wear was wearing out on the SSD. I checked the attribute, it's reported as 3. In googling it appears that 3% relates to the life time consumed, so...

Thanks for the response and agreeing to add it in a future update! It wasn't any critical data - only TV Shows/Movies which I re-downloaded anyway. But it's the second time HD Sentinel has predicted a failure - I'm very happy with the family license I purchased to protect multiple Microservers I hav...

Hi, Been a long time user for HD Sentinel. It predicted my most recent failed disk as long as 40 days ago but unfortunately google forced me to change my SMTP server password so the alert emails never got through. My disk was failing and I only realised that too late. Might be an idea to put warn of...
