How to Check SSD Lifespan and Health 

Adata su650

P5 Plus 2TB x2 and Samsung 970 Pro in my other machines

have a sammy 840 evo 246GB on my main rig, its an older i7 4790k, then i have a sammy 1TB 890 nvme on my newer dell i5 11gen laptop.

I have 2 Corsair Force MP600 drives, I just checked the software and all I can say is ew.. The program is gross and not up to date looking at all 😂

WD 850x 2TB and I am very very happy with it, I had to purchase this drive after my Samsung 2 Tb 980 Pro FAILED, it failed in a weird way... From my perspective compared to how hard drives fail with my past experiences, according to Samsung's magician software, I had 18 bad blocks, in a nutshell the failure was a particular function within Windows and that was copying files... Everything else was working fine, there is actually a RU-vid video kind of illustrating what happened, with another RU-vid channel that I participated in, we did a remote repair to try to resolve this issue. The failure was just kind of puzzling to me, and figuring out what was actually wrong going through the steps created a pretty good video for the channel. Brian, please show me what you had in mind to demonstrate something in the task scheduler, I would like to know if you can manipulate that, there are other reasons why I am so interested in the task scheduler and being able to manipulate it or add something to it, it has to do with the deprecation in Windows 10 and 11 of being able to add my own tasks to the scheduler, my usage of the task scheduler was very simple, I would have reminders pop up, and I used it to remind me when bills are due. I have always like how it works it is a little funky to add something as simple as a pop up showing a text screen with the message... But, it is not all that difficult once you tinker with it. IF ... There is any way you know how to program the scheduler to get around this deprecated feature, it was listed as "sending a message" in the message would be a text message on the screen, I technically am keeping a Windows 7 machine alive because of this deprecated feature, I just have not found an easy way to notify me when bills are due or some other function that I need to be reminded about on a regular basis... The outlook calendar to me is goofy, and for me it does not make a whole lot of sense, and I basically have not found any replacement scheduler that is easy to use. So.... Again if you know of a way to manipulate the scheduler to add your own entries which I believe is absolutely possible because, people who make programs and want to access the scheduler like the Western Digital software, if they can get into it... Then I should be able to get into it, just like we did in the old days I suspect, there may be an entry in the registry that will turn everything back on like it used to be but that is just a guess, the program seems to be the same as it was in Windows 7, but features are turned off. Anyways Brian.... HELP ME... If you can 🙂 and please demonstrate what you know about the task scheduler.

You are welcome Jason

Thanks

Its not bad, bit of a rush job

Excellent mate

You're welcome

worth checking

Yes it does, go from driver dashboard down to diagnostic scan and click on start. I too have Samsung Magician.

@@jpcoll2011 Sorry to tell you jpcoll mate the Magician software is not supported by the CPU I have in this laptop it pops up a message to say so and just will not do a diagnostic scan.

seagate tools should

Yeah, Samsung software is nice

It shouldn't really make any difference what mode the laptop is in, just shows how limited the drive manufacturers software often is.

How can switching to an SSD change your MAC address? It's tied to your network card.

@@seediffusion i put new install w10 on SSD. but i need old MAC adress stay on other old w10

So use another program.

A lot of these types of brands don't have their own software, try seatools

I've heard of Liteon, but never Liteonit. Weird.

@@FlyboyHelosim Liteon is the proper name. This is what Windows has been calling it. Maybe IT is something else.

@@cammy85 Sounds like a knock-off where a brand name gets changed ever so slightly. 😂

maybe use some of the third party ones

@@Britec09 Can you recommend one?
