SSD possibly crapping the bed?

[stealthy123]

is there a way to see if an ssd is failing?


since a power outage, when I reboot my machine it says disk boot error ctrl+alt+delete to reboot.

it takes me rebooting as many as 10 times to get it to boot into windows.

I have an m4 as my boot drive, and a caviar black as a secondary for storage. Both always show up in bios, it's just the booting issue.

I don't have another ssd to toss in there if I need to RMA, it's my daily use machine, so I am hoping there is a way for me to know for sure before I take it out of the pc.

One reason all my computer equipment is behind a rather large UPS. and dont forget to check your batteries.

Crystal Disk Info would show you the SMART data, which would show if the SSD is going bad. I would get another cheap HDD to clone the data to and use as a boot drive while you RMA the SSD (if you can do that still). I think it's toast.

I would say no. Almost all SSD failures happen because of a firmware bug or some type of failure not releated to the flash wearing out. The controller has no way to track unknown bugs or controller failure so I doubt SMART will be of good use.
