In the near future, unfortunately, yes. Rip important data from it.

Not so fast, reallocated sectors in SSD are nothing out of the ordinary. Each SSD has a "spare" and when the controller detects a damaged cell, it simply stops using it. If the amount does not grow rapidly, do not worry. HD tune also misinterprets the SSD parameter. It's correct in Crystal Disk info. This is "Retired Block Count".
Enter the values for parameters E8 and E9 from CDI.

Let's see if SSD-Z (screenshots from the first three tabs) something more will tell us about this disk.

speedy9 · Accepted Answer

Of course, you are right. It's the same thing. This parameter, however, unlike in the case of HDD, does not inform about the approaching end of disk life. The number of spare blocks varies depending on the disk, but even if the value of this parameter would be several hundred, there is no reason to worry.

HDTune often highlights yellow parameters whose value is completely correct. CDI is a much more reliable program when it comes to SMART.

Just for information, this disk has 7% redundant space (8GB). In sectors, it seems to be 16410915.

This too, I will not now be scared when the first bad sectors were actually removed. Question, or was made immediately after that purchase Secure Erase And you didn't enter the third bookmark from SSD-Z for inspection. And read the rest:

Just why CDI showed nothing? is HD Tune better? Or maybe he distorted the result?

linuks · Answer

CDI shows exactly the same 8 reallocated sectors. Regards

leonov · Answer

I said it wrong, CDI showed good condition?

RADU23 · Answer

Note that HDtune also shows this = = Health Status: OK Do you see the difference but the parameter name? After all, the RAW value is identical in both programs.

This disk is on a laptop. When it falls, nothing terrible, I didn't need to buy used one. On a desktop computer I have a Goodram 120GB SSD HDtune in it, nothing highlights. After that, Kingston's disk worked on a different laptop and showed 1 bad sector on detailed HDtune scanning. Older laptop broke (HP Pavilion G7 1173DX) and I gave this disk to G7 e153sa with detailed scanning does not show this bad sector. I read that HDTune is not very suitable for SSD drives, and the correct data is given by Crystal.

Let's leave these drops for later evaluation. It is more important if there was an update firmware

pruszyniak · Answer

Kingston software informs that there is no newer software for this disk
