The software has an intuitive UI. From the main Window, you can access multiple features, such as the Health Check, the Custom Clean, or the Registry clean. The health check is a full PC assessment scan that will let you know whether you have any unnecessary files that take up disk spac...
It is also important to note that defragging a Solid State Drive will not make it faster and may even decrease its life expectancy. Tip 3. Enable TRIM or Not TRIM was introduced in the 2009 version of the SATA specification. TRIM command is also known as SCSI UNMAP or ATA Unmap. It is...
Kingston provides a software utility called, “KSM” (Kingston Storage Manager) to track SSD life expectancy. Think of it as a gas gauge in a car where the user can periodically check the status of the SSD.SSD Performance Most Client systems are no longer limited by processor performance. Th...
If you’re not able to afford a new SSD, we do not recommend getting a used one at all unless you know its complete history. 2] How to check if your SSD is healthy Knowing if an SSD is going bad is not as easy when compared to a regular mechanical drive. You see, when a mecha...
life expectancy data - with a proposal which I called the "SSD Half Life." That dialog met with some enthusiasm but there wasn't enough vendor support to take it further. The SSD oems I talked to took reliability very seriously - but didn't want their own proprietary reliability schemes ...
To complement the redundant data block recovery technologies built into Kingston enterprise SSDs, periodic checkpoint creation, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and ECC error correction are also implemented in an End-to-End internal protection scheme to guarantee the integrity of data from the host throu...
Check the “erase count” when a block is taken out from the spare pool. If an over-count block is bigger than the spare block, swap the static spare block with over-count block. “Over-count” means that the block’s erase count is already higher than the Wear Count Register, and ...
As a bonus, you can check the status for all installed drives as well. You can use this SSD as a supplementary drive on your gaming console. Unfortunately, because of the port limitations in current-gen consoles, you can only play legacy games directly f...
Thus, FireCuda SSD 510 applies the 340bit/2KB LDPC(Low Density Parity Check) of ECC algorithm, which can detect and correct errors that occur during read process, ensure data has been read correctly, as well as protect data from corruption. Wear Leveling NAND flash devices can only undergo...
Check the “Logical to DTL” table to see any DRAM cache unit related to this unit; 2. If yes, check the “DTL to Logical”, “DTL_Unit_Status”, DTL_Unit_SEC_CNT, and “DTL_BitMapping” tables 832. “Read from DRAM” 834: if “Logical to DTL” related, and the other three ...
