SSD in an open-box laptop has 63% life, RMA worthy?

just_dave

Hi, I bought an open-box laptop about 4 weeks ago. I was messing with some diagnostics today and found out the SSD that's inside has 63% service life left with over 2TB of writes and 400 power-on hours. All I did on this machine is reinstall clean W10 Pro and download few gigabytes of apps. This must be a used SSD or something, I don't understand. For comparison, the SATA SSD in my desktop has 94% life left after 3 years. Is this normal behaviour or is this bad and I should try RMA? Diagnostics included

Thank you, Im not sure about that power on count because, that would mean that the pc got rebooted every 16 seconds for almost 17 days (I devided the hours with the pwer on count) Used storage is never a good idea

This is a really wierd scenario it looks like the previous owner put an old ssd in there and rewrote the chip
