Crucial P1 NVMe M.2 question

[PyroTheWise]

I have installed the crucial P1 nvme M.2 drive, but I was wondering about monitoring it's life.  I was looking at the Crucial web-site and I found this link to some software:

 

https://www.crucial.com/support/storage-executive

 

It all sounds wonderful - makes the drive faster, etc...  Usually this type of marketing is total BS.  So I was wondering do I need any software to monitor the drive and if so, what is your suggestion?  Also, do you have any experience with the Crucial Storage executive and is it worth using.

 

Thanks for your advice/information/help.

Ya really don't have to worry about life on ssds, they will last much longer than the system. Also keep backups.

 

I like to keep my system clean and remove the software.

 

The make it faster is from a caching software that Id stay away from as it normally lets you do writes to ram and then that will be written to disk later, and that can have data loss if power is lost. Windows also does disk caching.

Do not use Momentum Cache.
