My 1TB 960 EVO NVME is going on just over 6 years and no issues. I do have decent air flow over the device and the temps stay between 30° and 36°C.

I have HDDs from windows XP days that still work to this day. Ive seen a SSD die about 2 months ago suddenly and it was only 4yrs old. I have a laptop from 2016 that uses HDD that has been put through hell from architectural software, rendering software, video editing software, hardcore gaming and it surprises me it has not died as yet due to the stress its been put under. The SSD was put under similar stress and it only lasted 4yrs. It seems software that writes alot to the SSD kills it quicker than its intended lifespan.

I've only ever had one SSD fail. That was a chepo no-name SATA 120 Gig drive, three years ago. Haven't had one fail since, knock on wood. Over the last 30 years I have replaced DOZENS of HDD's, though.

my ssd on my old thinkpad started to fail in may 2021 with it blue screening randomly and glitching out like crazy.

I have been pretty lucky with Samsung NVMe drives for the past 10 years, only had 1 fail. I have never had some of my SATA SSD hard drives for 6 years or so in my Truenas server (5-4TB drives & 3-1TB Samsung ).
Thanks for the video

I have a Samsung 840 PRO 512GB SATA SSD that has been running since 2013 (9 years) without an issue! Has my OS as well as a few games on it. I have always kept it no more than 50% full.
Thanks for the videos!

Some how the NVM.e failed in my work laptop. Not sure why or how but windows pops up now and says it last 3 times I've turned it on. It also BSOD noted as failed HDD.

Checked the health on my SSD and it's 100% despite being a year old

most SSD's ive had fail were the SATA ones.. never by wear though usually the ports snap off by then during usual cleaning/maint but rare cases i had SATA SSD's stop working and all of those i so far managed to revive by taking PCB out and just giving it gentle bends in few sections.. now they were also old drives like SATA 2 early SATA 3 models but whats funny is they still work fine today, now not in active use as much but doing just fine. so far never had a NVME fail yet only cause i just recently bought into this types, i had one drop on me month back but some times taking them out and cleaning the contacts/re-seatting could fix a possible what seems dead NVME/SSD which worked for me in this case, but if important things on it and that does not work could always try my method of just gentle bend flex it slight and could work long enough to backup off of i mean its dead by that point not much to loose unless plan to take it to a data recover place then don't do that of course.

Now the lifespan percentage thing makes a lot more sense to me as almost all my ssd's that have failed were on like 80 tot 90% lifespan left. But yeah heat as always is the biggest electronics killer.

Thank you so much! I just finally bought my first ssd yesterday and was having a lil fear about reaching that write cap

I just messed up an Adata Gammix s70 system SSD using the manufacturer's "official optimization tools" app, and now my PC boots straight into BIOS and the former 2TB system drive shows up there as a generic 2MB(!?) drive (I have two identical ones installed, the other, non-system one still shows up with the original manufacturer brand and SN) . I suppose there's no recovery from this? should I bite the bullet and just go ahead and replace the NVME--or is there a way to fix it and at least reformat the damn thing using the command line in a similar way? (to do a clean Windows 11 reinstall)

not always the case my 1tb nvme m.2 lasted less than 9 months after they said that they can last long and i only had my steam games on it so did not copy and delete alot on it and it was brand new

So what about HDD and if they last longer?

I have the same ssd there. I think it’s failed because it’s 4/5 years old now. Also I was recently downloading lots of heavy files over night and through the day. Not good for it. Hundreds of gigs, also lots of deleting files. Going to try to clean the port and the connection with compressed. But might need a new one since it won’t pop on my file location settings.

Wow! I was just getting ready to pay someone to transfer my files from my hard drive which after 4 years is still working fine, to an SSD card. I was told that I should. I'm wondering if I should switch given the cost of it all. I have no tech experience at all. Thank you!

I heard that SSD'S Fail too because the defrag setting was left on in computer clean up settings and they are only meant for mechanical hard drives and ruin SSD'S.

I like all your videos they are pretty cool and I learned the things, I use my gaming PC everything because I am disabled and can't do anything else. So I just said computers are meant to be used, so if I have it on all day nothing will happen?
