Is my SSD dying?

[Epicwhale]

 

Over the past month I've been getting terrible write speeds on my SSD (reading speeds are perfectly normal).

I've tried updating bios/ssd firmware/closing all programs etc etc.

 

is my SSD kill even though it shows perfect life? pls help :l

Use Samsung Magician to determine whether your drive is truly in good condition or not, the software that you're using might not be reliable.

 

Also, be sure you're not using the drive at all before benchmarking the speed, any case of use would affect the transfers negatively.

Just to check, Is TRIM enable and running and not defrag? The sata controller is set to AHCI? Indexing is disabled for the SSD?

as you can see, the Intel driver is installed and TRIM seems to be active

 

@Epicwhale install Samsung's Magician: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/download/tools.html

PS: weren't the 840s the ones with the shitty NAND issues over time? cell voltage drift

Looks like it's just the known 840 Evo slowdown. As @zMeul says, go Samsung Magician and get the newest firmware that should have a fix for it.

Samsungs program says it'll take 45 minutes to complete when it used to take about 30 seconds..

Might  be dying then, I'd try to RMA if it's still under warranty.
