you can run a SMART test for your drive. a program like crystaldiskinfo can be useful to identify issues with all types of storage media. 

you can also open task manager and go to the ssd tab under performance. is the response time <1second or more than 1 second?

I’ve already ram the smart test and used crystal disk info and it check out as good I’m not currently at my house so I’ll be sure to check response time but if it is more then a second is that bad

its going to fluctuate a lot but being consistently >1second for long periods of time can indicate a deeper issue. it could be hardware, could be software. its just sort of a indicator saying that something *could* be wrong.

Download and install the Western Digital Dashboard. It will provide firmware updates and diagnostics. The changelog can be found here.
