How Long Will My SSD Last?
⏱️ We keep hearing that an SSD, or other flash-based drives don't last long. Particularly when it comes to SSDs, there are ways you can see how long it might last.
The specifications for an SSD model may include a TBW, or “terabytes written” measure of the minimum life expectancy. You can then use a tool to examine the amount of data written to your drive to determine how close to the TBW it is. The drive may last longer or fail earlier, but this lets you judge your risk against the manufacturer’s expectations based on your current usage.
