Key Points on SSD Failure Detection

• Initial Warning:

  • The first indication of an SSD failure is a warning in the Disks and Volumes utility, showing the SSD's overall health, lifespan, and temperature.

• Accessing the Utility:

  • Search for "Disks and Volumes" in the taskbar to access it directly.

• Role of the Tool:

  • This utility should be your baseline for assessing SSD health to avoid mistaking other hardware issues (like drivers, RAM, or motherboard) for SSD failure.

• Signs of SSD Failure:

  1. Boot Crashes: Unreadable areas in the SSD that contain crucial boot information can prevent proper booting.
  2. File Operation Issues: Problems with reading or saving files.
  3. Detection Problems: Difficulty in detecting the SSD.
  4. Slow Performance: Reduced speed and efficiency of operations.

• Action Recommended:

  • Upon receiving a bad health warning for your SSD, immediately back up your files and plan to replace the SSD.
