its my SSD dying?

[lautaro_busto]

hello,  i have a OCZ Vertex 60Gb as boot drive and app.  Docs, music, etc  on an hdd. 

and  i ran  SSD life on win 7 a few months ago and it says that my sdd was really damaged. So i decided to  keep using it until it brakes  then buy another one, Today it still working on Win 8 and ssdlife says  its completly healthy. Run HD Tune and says health status is Ok, but on "Interface CRC Erro Count" says attention and shows a really high number 285095, then keep running hd tune and install office and the number grow again. so i dont understand whats goiing on. Its damaged or not?.

To be honest i have no idea, do you notice any problems with the SSD?

Usually programs like that doesn't give you "legit" information all the time and i think HDTune is for HDD's mainly^^

I doubt it, looks like it could be a bug with the software, I have plenty of off the charts readings.

the only thing that i have noticed is  some times when i want to write something  i took a sec or two to start showing on the screen,

Unlike HDD's which tend to degrade and show signs before they die.

An SSD will die without warning. Programs which show various errors and stats usually don't provide any tangible evidence to say whether a drive will or will not fail. It's similar to opening up windows event viewer and looking at all the warning there.

 

All I can suggest is make sure you are backing it up somewhere so if it does die you're out only a piece of hardware and not your data.

yeah, its only OS, and apps, all my "important" data is on hdd, so no problem if it stop working. I just want to know because now i can buy a samsung 840 pro 120gb and wanna make sure if i should buy  it or not.
