If you want to monitor the health of an SSD disc, there is a program for this purpose. This tool also integrates other functions (such as the power and temperature graph), you can find them in the ‘Disk’ tab or in ‘Function’. In case yellow or red dots appear, with the word CAUTION, you should replace the hdd as soon as possible. Usually the word GOOD will appear, with all the celestial dots next to the various tests: in this case the health of our hdd can be judged good (note that however it does not guarantee the presence of future failures). Once installed, you will be confronted with the overview of the performed diagnostics, and you may be faced with various scenarios. One of the recommended tools is the CrystalDiskInfo, downloadable from the official website for free.
There are some differences between HDD (mechanical) and SSD (solid), SMART parameters give different results, see this list for detailed analysis.
In any case, if you see something anomalous in this test, you shouldn’t think twice and change the disk immediately. On the contrary, it has happened on several occasions that a ‘failing’ disk has given good SMART results anyway. Many times this data has to be taken with precaution, since a ‘passed’ test does not mean that our hard disk is actually fine. SMART stands for “ Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology” and works only if supported/enabled by BIOS/UEFI. diagnostic data and report if there are any deterioration or other problems. There are many tools to check the health of hard drives, which detect S.M.A.R.T.
