T Force Cardea A440 1TB NVME Showing 93% Health After Only About Month and A Half Usage

[ahtesham_ag]

Greetings!

Need your suggestion/guidance on how to proceed:

Bought a new T Force Cardea A440 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVME on 30th September 2021 and have been using it since in my Legion 5 Pro (R7 5800H). The speed from the drive and performance is just fine. The issue is that the drive health is consistently dropping and is currently at 93%. Should I be worried about this?

The 'imgur' snapshots are now about 15 days old that is why you would observe the difference in % drive life remaining.

PS: Yes, I know the AMD mobile 5XXX CPUs support upto PCI Gen3 NVMEs. The Cardea drive is just a placeholder in my laptop. The drive would eventually would go into my main desktop build (also Ryzen 5XXX based)

Disable Scheduled optimization for the drive perhaps. Helped me.

Do you have the same drive?

And are you talking about the drive optimisation in the windows apps?

Spoiler

 

Not the same drive, though it does not affect only one model i think.

But yeah, I suspect the Optimization was the culprit.

Where do you read 93%? Can you post a screenshot of Crystal Disk Info?
