SSD broken?

[dionkoffie]

I have a big suspicion that my SSD might be at the end of its life. Since a few days ago I've been experiencing small freezes in my computer. My PC would just completely freeze, but I'd still be able to click on menu's and stuff as far as it'd allow it to. It's the same effect when you disconnect the boot drive while Windows is running.

 

 

You can see what happens. It jumps to 100% and it refuses to do anything. I'm forced to hard reboot my computer to get it to work.

At first, I thought it was my video card, because it'd always happen whenever I was playing intensive games that require a lot of write/reading from the drive, but I soon came to realize that it might be my SSD that's causing all this.

I was downloading Forza Horizon 3 on my SSD and it froze after 5 minutes. 

 

I'm legit scared to write this, because I fee like it could happen again at any time.

 

This is me switching google chrome tabs. 

 

Crystaldisk is giving me this info: 

 

note: This SSD has spent at least 5000 hours in a datacenter. It's a retired datacenter SSD

 

What do you think? I'm 99% sure my SSD is just at the end of its life and I should get a replacement, but I'm not sure.

Windows Event log is not giving me any errors.
