Alpha R2 - SK Hynix SC308 Life expectancy report 3%??
Hi,
Just recently purchased a new alpha R2 with a 250gb SK Hynix SC308 M2 SSD. I recently downloaded the drive manager tool from SK Hynix website and checked out my drives statistcs. Drive health is reported as good but I was surprised to see the life remaining statistic only showing 3%!!! Any thoughts on this? The machine seems to be running fine!

So from just looking at the screen your drive has written over 1000 Petabytes worth of data and read over 4700 Petabytes worth of data. I personally didn't think SSD drives could do that to be honest! Regardless, you can either chop it up to the software you are using is lying to you, or the drive is defective and needs to be swapped out.

Lol, didn't notice that. The SK Hynix software also picked up on my external hard drive and although had no stats available for life left, did also report similar read/write stats, so I guess the software is a bit garbage.
