Hey, 

 

I am not sure if this is normal (See picture 1), but I have had this SSD in use for less than six months and its health is dropping too fast in my opinion. I am not experienced enough to make sure this is bad or normal for an NVMe SSD.

 

Is there someone that could help me determine if my SSD is faulty or its me, overacting? My previous SSD is like 9 years old and does way better (See picture 2). I am aware that my second SSD (the older one) is not an M.2 drive, but I am not sure if that makes a difference.

 

I hope someone can give me some insight about this and can determine if I should act before my SSD is dead and I am to late.

 

Thanks in advance!

So if you have a QLC drive it will wear out faster.

I just checked and the Kingston drive is MLC,which is higher quality than the TLC used in the Corsair drive.

MLC is extinct,because manufacturers like the cheap stuff more.

just looked this up too... Samsung Evo 860 uses MLC... unsurprisingly. 

 

And, the drive is really cheap, cheaper than 850 for some reason, which is also very good btw.
