Should I concerning about the 88% Drive Remaining Life? it's degrading rather quick since I had just bought it exact a year ago. I did need to transfer multiple hundreds of GBs size of my work files to many places mostly every couple days *internet/usb/external drive etc
(I am video editor from gaming and needed many trial n error / deleting and creating)

It is a GIGABYTE NVME SSD M.2 2280 1TB

Or in other word: Should I blindly trust the number of % shown in the software? and buy the backup drives?(its obvious lol but still)

The temp when idle usually 20~22 degree
this picture shown 33degree was because I was transferring files

12% Life lost in 1 year of fairly solid use?  Seems legit.

 

That means after 5 years it'd be around 40%.

 

I don't see that as a real issue.

Seems normal if you use the drive extensively...

Mines degrade a few % per year on normal usage, they'll last 25+ years😊

Based on useage and drive life remaining, it appears this drive has a write endurance between 100-110TB which is completely normal for an nvme drive. When it gets below 50%, start really considering full backups 🙂
