a normie Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The result as shown in the screenshot of 09 attribute is correct(42d 20h), but the E9 attribute is showing different value(185d 16h), is this a bug or E9 & 09 meant something different. I'm worried becoz i saw the the E9 value at first and thought i purchased a used ssd ;~;. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most manufacturer's have an official freeware software available that can display the S.M.A.R.T. status, model, capacity, firmware version with ability to update the firmware, temperature, remaining life, and allow over-provisioning for endurance and performance that can extend the life of the drive.

First of all thanks for the reply :D. Yes I agree, i installed kingstons ssd management tool right after posting here it is showing the correct result(42days). I worried initially as i saw the E9 result(what is it btw, is it a bug?!)

Igoogled a bit and it seems like it is unnecessary for home use :D, one last thing can you explain about that E9 value and why did it show 185 days if its not a bug.

Moderators Andavari Posted January 2, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2019 Sorry I don't know why it, that's something perhaps the developers could answer if they chime in on this topic. My own guess would be it has to read values from allot of different drives instead of being made in particular for a specific drive brand and model, so perhaps that's why there will be anomalies/bugs. It's one of the reasons developers of such programs may need to borrow or loan drives from manufacturers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
