Today I stripped down and rebuilt my PC (to get rid of surplus cabling, and to give it a clean since it was pretty dusty in there), and everything is running fine.
Well, except my SSD (apparently).
I run speedfan from time-to-time, and I ran it after the rebuild to check that the temperatures were OK. This is what I saw in the S.M.A.R.T tab when I checked my SSD's health:
Meanwhile, the data for my two hard-drives shows this:
My two hard-drives are apparently in much better health than my SSD is, but maybe one thing to note is that the SSD runs on a PCI-E SATA3 controller, and the two hard-drives run on my motherboard's own SATA2 ports.
Should I be concerned, or is SpeedFan reporting a false-reading (aka, my SSD is completely fine)? My SSD is still under warranty, is it advisable to RMA it (since maybe this is a sign of imminent total failure)?
According to this forum thread:
Using your OCZ Toolbox app, your SSD's life curve SMART attribute is what you should watch; "0" is perfect
The life curve
on my SSD is reporting as 100
, so does this mean that my SSD is on pre-failure
:
230 Life Curve Status 0x0013 100 100 000 Always 100
