Hi in Hard Disk Sentinel my Intel 660p M.2 2280 512GB PCI Express 3.0 may be dying as yellow and seid
"The following error(s) detected: Media and Data Integrity Errors = 1795162219
The health is determined by SSD specific S.M.A.R.T. attribute(s): Available Spare (Percent), Percentage Used
The TRIM feature of the SSD is supported and enabled for optimal performance.
It is recommended to backup often to prevent data loss."
Should i buy a new 1tb gen 4 one then?
so HDDlife Pro won't load said their no smart device the other programs. I need a reliable way to test my hard drives so is this drive dying or not?
As hard drive Hard Disk Sentinel and HDDlife Pro both say its got bad heath before i got this error.
If this dyining then i will go out buy Crucial P3 Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Internal SSD - Up to 5000MB/s - CT1000P3PSSD801 (Acronis Edition)
What paid program can i check the heath of my program?

go to -Function - advanced features - raw values - 10 [DEC], that should give you the raw values then go and check how many media/data integrity errors, so you can confirm what sentinel is telling you.

here's what my nvme C: drive has listed and its been around for 4-5 plus years and has only 55% life left in it

well, I am having a hard time finding what is normal for your drive, but if you're worried about it I would play it safe and clone the drive and keep monitoring it to see how much the Media and Data Integrity Errors increase over time, also I would check to see if intel has there own tool for these drives, Cant say if they do or not I dont use intel drives. will update you if I can find max safe limits of your drive.

yup, those are my thoughts on it too, you can never really be too careful when it comes to your data, I always have 3 or more copies of my data.

most talk online is if you are watching those errors going up, then you need to replace that drive
