Hi folks,
I have a Samsung 850 Evo SSD 500gb must be going on for four years now, I have installed the Samsung Magician software and it gives me the following info.
Drive health Good, 47.5TB written ( I do a fairly frequent image restore with Acronis True Image)
Sequential read is 213 and write is 228 Randon read is 7568 and write is 11718.
It is a 10 year old pc and the SSD makes all the difference to its speed, will stick with it for a while yet.
So just wondering considering how much I write to it, is there a few years left in the SSD yet do you think, and how does those read and write speeds compare to modern SSD's in a better computer?
Many thanks for any info.

Sandisk SSD Plus. 500GB. Powered on for 405 days. 31.6TB written. Reserve space still at 100%.
Media wear indicator. 1.2%
Sandisk Ultra Plus. 256GB. Powered on for 488 days. 14TB written. Reserve space still at 100%.
Wear indicator is at 2.56%
Next upgrade will probably be to a Samsung Pro. From what I gather they will outlast most other SSD's.
Petabytes worth of writes before failure.

Anotherquestion, your SSD is fine and should continue for several more years yet.
By all means get another if you upgrade the PC but I'd not worry for now.1 -
I have been repairing and upgrading PCs for a good while. Mechanical hard drives were the part that always seemed to fail. My first SSD didn't last long (Kingston SSD Now). I only buy Samsung Pro now. I imagine using them for 10-20 years. Hardware improvements seem to have really plateaued and my storage requirements are low. Sometimes interfaces change. Be interesting to see how long I get out of them.1
