Hi Trisha, I ran across your channel and I am enjoying it. I am a 61 year old disabled person and I love to learn about computers. I thank you for, well, talking like an actual person. You do not either "Dumb it down" to the point that I feel insulted, (Most of the other channels do that very thing, or they do this>) or talk so far over my head I feel useless listening and trying to learn from. Again, thank you and please keep sharing and teaching us.
What you'll want to look for is an over-provisioning feature on the SSD. This feature basically allows you to dedicate more flash storage space towards the read/write blocks. This means swapping between more blocks which results in less damage over time on the SSD. The downside is you lose some storage space.
I still have a 2.5 Kingston SSD (120GB) as a boot drive since 2017 and it still has 76% on the wear level indicator today. They definitely do last a long time especially with the higher capacities. Kudos to Kingston's longevity. :D
The best protection for SSD is the RAM - if the SSD has DRAM cache will last much longer than those without for a typical user. So Kingston, ad RAM to your SSD's.
In my experience the realistic failure cause of an SSD is from the controller rather than NAND durability. Kind of like how most LED bulbs fail from their controller before LED itself wears out.
Find this video rather comical and ironic myself. The only two SSDs I've ever had fail on me, were Kingston. The only RAM I've had fail on me, was Kingston. The only USB drive I had fail on me, was Kingston. Summary. Avoid Kingston. 😆
Hi there, it is very unfortunate that you had that experience with our products. Did you reach out to our Tech Support for help with troubleshooting your parts and check your Warranty? If not and you still have the parts in hand, please drop us a line here: kings.tn/3PjYDt7
Some drives can wear-level cells used for long term storage by first moving that data other cells and returning the original cell to the pool of free cells. Kingston should think about doing that, since it will dramatically increase the endurance of drives that are nearly full.
Hi Paul, as a general overview, we use controllers utilizing advanced wear leveling technology, which distributes the number of P/E cycles (program/erase) across the flash memory evenly. For more information please visit our site here: kings.tn/3JhU3cR

Thank you for your feedback. Trim allows the operating system to inform the SSD that data has been deleted so that the SSD can free up those previously used blocks. For trim to work both the operating system and the SSD must support it. Currently, most modern operating systems and SSDs support trim however most RAID configurations do not support it.

1. SMART can be analyzed using crystaldiskinfo 2. TRIM is automatically done in Windows and Linux 3. Longevity and reliability is based on the quality of the binned chips. Low quality bins are cheaper but also can die way faster.
My SATA SSD did exactly as you described, out of the blue would not boot. Also failed attempts at repair including using Windows DVD. It’s a Kingston Hyper X. Never stored in the oven nor refrigerator. Typical usage in a typical home. Drive wasn’t near full and less than 2 years old.

@@LeeMooEez Because by doing this the ssd writes between the both partitions...Windows partition always fluctuates in capacity,writes and clean itself because of the windows updates and temp files and so on....
When you install Windows to an SSD, it creates AT LEAST 3 partitions. An EFI partition, a MSR partition and a primary partition. And no, partitions don't randomly expand and shrink all the time, that's simply absurd.
@@Melody666 I meant the free space from C partition (for example I have a 970 Evo Plus 500Gb and the free space fluctuates between 346-357gb once at a few days) and I also meant "Do not create manual partitions for a ssd" except the recovery ones witch create automatically,and u don t use them and are invissible in "This PC"

power outages while the ssd is reading or writind data wont cause the ssd to lose health. there is no way for that to happen, of cource you could lose the data but there is no way to lose the ssd, its becouse of its chips
Fear mongering. I have a SSD from over 10 years ago. I've used it in many laptops with many different OSes. My use case is abnormal and uses more write cycles. It's not going to immediately die. That's obsurd.
You clearly have not been using computers in countries with a 'less than optimal' power grid. At one point in time even one of my UPS's caught fire, because of a power failure. Who knew it didn't like 400 Volt....that was the most extreme power failure I encountered. And yes, I lost over 40 mainboards to over-voltage & under-voltage in the grid and more than 100 HDD's over a period of 15 years. I have not been applying SSD's for that long in the workstations and servers I need to manage, but 2 already died. Those really seemed to hate under voltage in the grid. You know what the best thing is you can do to extend the life of your desktop computer equipment? Using a high quality power supply in your desktop. And using a tool, called: HDSentinel (if you do not own a Kingston SSD). That monitors the temperatures and SMART state from any of your SSDs and HDDs. We are talking about electronic devices. Those die. Usually at a improper moment. The tone of your post suggests that you have not experienced the "you lack imagination"-part of the saying "If you think things cannot get any worse, you lack imagination". Consider yourself blessed.
Which model? She didn't say that they don't or won't last that long. My SNV125 (30 GB) still works. It was reporting read errors on Linux, but that was from a USB external enclosure. I have to connect it to a free SATA port and perhaps KSM, in Win10, will detect it.
10 years ago the endurance and program / erase cycles of the NAND flash was very different to todays. Endurance is a trade off vs price and capacity. NAND flash degrades over time, with its first day being the best.
@@geroldmanders9742 "You clearly have not been using computers in countries with a 'less than optimal' power grid." That is the fault of the power grid; not the SSD. "At one point in time even one of my UPS's caught fire, because of a power failure." That should not happen. Which brand and model USP caught on fire. "Who knew it didn't like 400 Volt" When you plug in an electrical device in an outlet not designed for that electrical device, you are causing the failure (or the fire). "And yes, I lost over 40 mainboards to over-voltage & under-voltage in the grid and more than 100 HDD's over a period of 15 years." That points to a shoddy UPS. Which manufacturer and which model? "Those really seemed to hate under voltage in the grid." So do TVs, microwave ovens, and just about any devices that are designed for one voltage and you deliver the wrong voltage. A quality UPS is designed to remedy dirty power from your utility company.
Automate the health check-up in your OS... skip video lol. The only other thing I can think to do is to get a battery so that you can save your work and shutdown, if you are using a laptop like me, problem solved lol.
As far as I understand wear leveling, (completely opposite to what was presented here), is that a block used for a long term storage file, is still shuffled around so that nand cell gets a new file written to it. This effectively averages out all the writers evenly against all the nand cells. That’s what wear leveling is, not what was depicted here
Now I know I'm old. I look up Trisha pictures on Google and my first thought was "where does she get those outfits?" Nice presentation that shows some actual knowledge of the subject and not just reading a script. And I have a LOT of Kingston SSDs. Two in my latest build.
You guys made me purchase two A400 240GB SSDs. I had this DT50 8GB which I used for installing operating systems on. I rewritten it a lot of times and it still feels like its brand new. Its durable too

WDC Black is my cup o' tea when it comes to mechanical and SSD drives. Used to be EVO for some reason but i decided to switch.

HDDs may be ourdated but the black edition from WDC is durable no wonder it significantly more expensive than the other color editions.

SSDs will get hot, if you write to them for, perhaps, ½hour or longer without rest. But that is not too bad. If you are doing something that writes to the SSD for hours and hours, without rest, then all the SSD needs is a light breeze to carry away its heat. If you have a fan in your case, and its air flows across the SSD, then your SSD will never get hot.
Oooph, is this not an own goal for Kingston. SATA S11 errors anyone? Only PSY seem to also use the Phison 3111 controller on their SSDs and they're known for cheaping out on parts, number of Kingston SSDs I've had fail at work.

I have 2x Kingston 240Gb SATA SSD as a System Drive to install WIndows and Application. I have manualy set all my data and temporary drive on my other mechanical harddrive. After 3 years of use, still have 99% wear level, because have minimal lifetime writing, just about 2.000 - 3.000 GB.
Want a bigger tip and the ultimate lifesaver? Clone the system SSD! I keep double SSD system backups on a weekly rotational basis using M.2 NVME drives mounted onto external USB containers. I use a bootable USB flash drive created by Macrium Reflex for each of the PC systems to clone. Cloned SSDs are in the identical format as the system drive by folders and files-not a proprietary image file. My C drives are for system and apps only. File storages are on separate disk drives that also are backed up to other disk drives.
Recently a friend of mine bought the XS2000 external ssd which is recognized on 2 different PCs upon connecting but not his own PC, not even in disk management even tho appears in the taskbar with the "safe remove" option. Any ideas? Problem solved. He didn't have installed his motherboard drivers.
I don't have an ssd, but I have a tip, how to extend the life of memory drives, pen drives, and memory cards. Assuming that your pc or phone isn't on blacklist, you have to switch to sleep or standby few times, after you bought your drive. It will reduce heat, and in some cases it will be slower. Playing some computer games will enable secret better functions, your drive memory card will be faster than the factory default.
Great video. I just installed a Kingston 2TB m.2 NVME in my desktop and wanted a utility to monitor and report on temperature and errors. This app looks great. Thanks for the great content.
Maybe ssd lifespan is problem when you are 50+ years old and you want your computer work more than 6 years lol. technnologies grow every month so try to upgrade sometimes. but if your ssd cant work at least 6 years thats really problem
The amount of 120gb Kingston I have failed in my dead disk pile is hilarious. We did but loads of them and the customers did fill them but still a lot of a400 disks.
Like any other product, a UPS price ranges from $50 to $100,000 or more. There are UPSs that can run a small town. There are basically 3 types of UPSs: 1) Standby 2) Line Interactive 3) On-Line #1 is the cheapest. It is basically a bucket of batteries. The UPS will switch to the batteries of you have a blackout, or if the power drops very low. It will probably offer basic surge suppression. It will allow you to gracefully shut down your computer if you have a blackout, and will keep your computer from crashing if the power goes out for ½ a second. #2 will boost or trim the power, if the power from the utility company is outside of the range it should be in. This level of UPS will probably offer much better surge suppression. It will be much better choice, compared to #1. #3 is the holy grail of clean and reliable power delivery. On this level, the UPS takes the A/C power from your wall, converts it to D/C power, and then converts that D/C power back to A/C power (dual conversion). This means that your computer will never see the power from your utility company. Your computer will always be fed newly generated power from your UPS. To perform the dual conversion, between 5% to 10% of your power will be lost, in order for the UPS to perform the dual conversion. So your electric bill will go up. And the UPS will be slightly noisy, because it needs a fan to keep itself cool while doing the dual conversion. This level of UPS will also offer the highest surge suppression. Large computer companies, such as Microsoft, eBay, Google, etc, use the #3. But they do make ones for personal use. What else is there to consider?: How much power do you need your UPS to produce if it goes to its battery (for example, in a blackout)? If you need only 250 watts, then they will not cost as much as one that can produce 1500 watts or more. Also, how long will you want the UPS to be able to run during a blackout, before its rechargeable batteries are drained? Bigger, longer lasting batteries will cost more. I use a model by APC: BN1500M2 It fits #2's description. Lastly, since a UPS has batteries, you will have to replace the batteries every 4 or 5 years (more often if it has cheap batteries). When you take ownership of your UPS, check the date of the manufacturing of the batteries. If they are older than 6 months, then consider returning it. Batteries go bad over time, regardless of whether or not they are sitting idle or being recharged. Whether replacing a car battery, or a UPS battery, I draw the line at 6 months.

SSDs do have a certain lifespan, but not like it will die before all your other components become outdated. Let's say you have a samsung 970 evo plus which will last 600TBW, and let's say you uninstall and reinstall GTA V on a daily basis, so you are writing and erasing 72G of data to your SSD every day (which is a ridiculous amount of data for normal daily usage). It would take you 23 years to drain that 600TBW at this rate. As long as your SSD isn't made by some wacky company, it will last just fine.

Fear mongering. I have a SSD from over 10 years ago. I've used it in many laptops with many different OSes. My use case is abnormal and uses more write cycles. It's not going to immediately die. That's obsurd.
You clearly have not been using computers in countries with a 'less than optimal' power grid. At one point in time even one of my UPS's caught fire, because of a power failure. Who knew it didn't like 400 Volt....that was the most extreme power failure I encountered. And yes, I lost over 40 mainboards to over-voltage & under-voltage in the grid and more than 100 HDD's over a period of 15 years.
I have not been applying SSD's for that long in the workstations and servers I need to manage, but 2 already died. Those really seemed to hate under voltage in the grid. You know what the best thing is you can do to extend the life of your desktop computer equipment? Using a high quality power supply in your desktop. And using a tool, called: HDSentinel (if you do not own a Kingston SSD). That monitors the temperatures and SMART state from any of your SSDs and HDDs.
We are talking about electronic devices. Those die. Usually at a improper moment.
The tone of your post suggests that you have not experienced the "you lack imagination"-part of the saying "If you think things cannot get any worse, you lack imagination". Consider yourself blessed.
Which model? She didn't say that they don't or won't last that long. My SNV125 (30 GB) still works. It was reporting read errors on Linux, but that was from a USB external enclosure. I have to connect it to a free SATA port and perhaps KSM, in Win10, will detect it.
10 years ago the endurance and program / erase cycles of the NAND flash was very different to todays. Endurance is a trade off vs price and capacity. NAND flash degrades over time, with its first day being the best.
@@geroldmanders9742 "You clearly have not been using computers in countries with a 'less than optimal' power grid."
That is the fault of the power grid; not the SSD.
"At one point in time even one of my UPS's caught fire, because of a power failure."
That should not happen.
Which brand and model USP caught on fire.
"Who knew it didn't like 400 Volt"
When you plug in an electrical device in an outlet not designed for that electrical device, you are causing the failure (or the fire).
"And yes, I lost over 40 mainboards to over-voltage & under-voltage in the grid and more than 100 HDD's over a period of 15 years."
That points to a shoddy UPS.
Which manufacturer and which model?
"Those really seemed to hate under voltage in the grid."
So do TVs, microwave ovens, and just about any devices that are designed for one voltage and you deliver the wrong voltage. A quality UPS is designed to remedy dirty power from your utility company.
Automate the health check-up in your OS... skip video lol. The only other thing I can think to do is to get a battery so that you can save your work and shutdown, if you are using a laptop like me, problem solved lol.
Why? Because your F SSDs are less reliable than a basic HDD. Totally not recommended for any, and I mean any type of storage.
No mention of bit rot when SSDs are left unpowered, or the fact you have to read old bits to keep them charged. 👎
As far as I understand wear leveling, (completely opposite to what was presented here), is that a block used for a long term storage file, is still shuffled around so that nand cell gets a new file written to it. This effectively averages out all the writers evenly against all the nand cells. That’s what wear leveling is, not what was depicted here
Now I know I'm old. I look up Trisha pictures on Google and my first thought was "where does she get those outfits?" Nice presentation that shows some actual knowledge of the subject and not just reading a script. And I have a LOT of Kingston SSDs. Two in my latest build.
You guys made me purchase two A400 240GB SSDs. I had this DT50 8GB which I used for installing operating systems on. I rewritten it a lot of times and it still feels like its brand new. Its durable too
Awesome to hear, and thanks for the feedback. To make sure your SSD's health and firmware are up to date, please make sure to download our SSD Manager on the PC's the A400's are installed in/ For more info please vist our site here: kings.tn/47sNpeW
Dispite all of things done, my ssd is still loosing its life around 4% every day i don't know what to do😢😢
WDC Black is my cup o' tea when it comes to mechanical and SSD drives. Used to be EVO for some reason but i decided to switch. I ve been using only WDC since late 90s so i thought screw Samsung stick to WDC both ways so now i have an NVME WDC half a terra SSD as well besides the 2 WDC black 3.73 TB each. HDDs may be ourdated but the black edition from WDC is durable no wonder it significantly more expensive than the other color editions.
Hi Trisha Hershberger, you're so fast and Smooth like ssds
Sexy, I think I’ve seen all videos but haven’t really listened lol. Just stared lol
1:25 so roughly 1TB for every 3GB as in, 3GB:1TB
best way is to disable windows updates, indexing and telemetry lol.
I have a Kingston SSD (KINGSTON OM8PCP3512F-AI1), when ever I boot up the Kingston SSD Manager it didn't detect my SSD, in the event logs it showed Detected as the primary drive, KScode3 identify failed. Can you help me with it? The drive came with my laptop MSI Bravo 15 B5DD.
Hello Anh,
Please send us a direct message via Facebook Messenger or Instagram, so we can assist you.
may I ask if fan cooled SSD is coming?
Thats literally useless
There’s heatsink but fan is useless
SSDs will get hot, if you write to them for, perhaps, ½hour or longer without rest.
But that is not too bad.
If you are doing something that writes to the SSD for hours and hours, without rest, then all the SSD needs is a light breeze to carry away its heat.
If you have a fan in your case, and its air flows across the SSD, then your SSD will never get hot.
Oooph, is this not an own goal for Kingston. SATA S11 errors anyone? Only PSY seem to also use the Phison 3111 controller on their SSDs and they're known for cheaping out on parts, number of Kingston SSDs I've had fail at work.
We are sorry to hear you have had some issues with your drives. We have taken a proactive role by releasing firmware updates for our drives through our Kingston SSD Manager that may help with some performance issues: kings.tn/42ShyCy
If you need assistance with your Kingston SSD, please contact us here: kings.tn/42QaiHm
Thank you!
Actually, no, never, but do tell me more LOL
I thought this a "turnaround" video
Great video with some essential information 👌👌
I will wait 15 min for boot but will use hdd.
👋
The health of My New SSD declined 1% after 5 hours usage ,is it normal?
Hi Ahmed if this happened to one of our drives, how did you check the status of the SSD? If you haven't checked it for firmware status with our SSD Manager please download it here: kings.tn/3GcdOSM
If you need further assistance with our product, please visit our support site here: kings.tn/3sM49Pv
Thank you.
Meh.. I'do stick to HDD for now
Ssd vs hdd their will never be a winner
Don't forget backup!!!!
I use HDD , i don't need to worry
A modern smart UPS has line conditioning, full sine wave for FT power supplies and voltage correction (AVR). This should make any SSD happy.
What about over provisioning?
nice in Red
Host is too attractive 😂😂❤❤
How often should you run optimize on an SSD? And could it shorten a SSD's read/write endurance if done too often?
Not by much, there will be ~1GB written on 1TB SSD, so you can theoretically do it on daily basis, but once or twice a week should be fine.
Hello everyone, you can get more information here: kings.tn/3PWJU8e
it should be automatic(on windows at least). Better not mess with it. And do NOT defragment ssd ever.
Another banger!
🙂👍☕ Great video
I have 2x Kingston 240Gb SATA SSD as a System Drive to install WIndows and Application.
I have manualy set all my data and temporary drive on my other mechanical harddrive.
After 3 years of use, still have 99% wear level, because have minimal lifetime writing, just about 2.000 - 3.000 GB.
Want a bigger tip and the ultimate lifesaver? Clone the system SSD! I keep double SSD system backups on a weekly rotational basis using M.2 NVME drives mounted onto external USB containers. I use a bootable USB flash drive created by Macrium Reflex for each of the PC systems to clone. Cloned SSDs are in the identical format as the system drive by folders and files-not a proprietary image file. My C drives are for system and apps only. File storages are on separate disk drives that also are backed up to other disk drives.
Recently a friend of mine bought the XS2000 external ssd which is recognized on 2 different PCs upon connecting but not his own PC, not even in disk management even tho appears in the taskbar with the "safe remove" option.
Any ideas?
Problem solved. He didn't have installed his motherboard drivers.
On my last SSD(not from Kingston) SMART not reported that SSD has broken Chips (Read/Write Errors) ....
I don't have an ssd, but I have a tip, how to extend the life of memory drives, pen drives, and memory cards. Assuming that your pc or phone isn't on blacklist, you have to switch to sleep or standby few times, after you bought your drive. It will reduce heat, and in some cases it will be slower. Playing some computer games will enable secret better functions, your drive memory card will be faster than the factory default.
Great video. I just installed a Kingston 2TB m.2 NVME in my desktop and wanted a utility to monitor and report on temperature and errors. This app looks great. Thanks for the great content.
You could easily work on Linus team, you have impressive communication skills
Maybe ssd lifespan is problem when you are 50+ years old and you want your computer work more than 6 years lol. technnologies grow every month so try to upgrade sometimes. but if your ssd cant work at least 6 years thats really problem
The amount of 120gb Kingston I have failed in my dead disk pile is hilarious.
We did but loads of them and the customers did fill them but still a lot of a400 disks.
Info on the girl?
You're beautiful ❤️
i have alot of power outages how do i protect my ssd. UPS sounds expensive
> "UPS sounds expensive"
Notebook => new battery ??
Desktop => DIY UPS ???
the one shown is around 60-70 bucks on amazon
Like any other product, a UPS price ranges from $50 to $100,000 or more.
There are UPSs that can run a small town.
There are basically 3 types of UPSs:
1) Standby
2) Line Interactive
3) On-Line
#1 is the cheapest.
It is basically a bucket of batteries.
The UPS will switch to the batteries of you have a blackout, or if the power drops very low.
It will probably offer basic surge suppression.
It will allow you to gracefully shut down your computer if you have a blackout, and will keep your computer from crashing if the power goes out for ½ a second.
#2 will boost or trim the power, if the power from the utility company is outside of the range it should be in.
This level of UPS will probably offer much better surge suppression.
It will be much better choice, compared to #1.
#3 is the holy grail of clean and reliable power delivery.
On this level, the UPS takes the A/C power from your wall, converts it to D/C power, and then converts that D/C power back to A/C power (dual conversion).
This means that your computer will never see the power from your utility company. Your computer will always be fed newly generated power from your UPS.
To perform the dual conversion, between 5% to 10% of your power will be lost, in order for the UPS to perform the dual conversion. So your electric bill will go up. And the UPS will be slightly noisy, because it needs a fan to keep itself cool while doing the dual conversion.
This level of UPS will also offer the highest surge suppression.
Large computer companies, such as Microsoft, eBay, Google, etc, use the #3. But they do make ones for personal use.
What else is there to consider?:
How much power do you need your UPS to produce if it goes to its battery (for example, in a blackout)?
If you need only 250 watts, then they will not cost as much as one that can produce 1500 watts or more.
Also, how long will you want the UPS to be able to run during a blackout, before its rechargeable batteries are drained?
Bigger, longer lasting batteries will cost more.
I use a model by APC: BN1500M2
It fits #2's description.
Lastly, since a UPS has batteries, you will have to replace the batteries every 4 or 5 years (more often if it has cheap batteries).
When you take ownership of your UPS, check the date of the manufacturing of the batteries. If they are older than 6 months, then consider returning it. Batteries go bad over time, regardless of whether or not they are sitting idle or being recharged.
Whether replacing a car battery, or a UPS battery, I draw the line at 6 months.
@@NoEgg4u after reading all this, now I want Harddrive.
@@NoEgg4u Actually super appreciate your comment here. My main take-away from this presentation was "I am getting a UPS for my new computer coming soon". Thank you for this
You are awesome!
@2:59 imagine that. To make your SSD last longer, you need to stop using it. Lol..
Instead of a UPS & a big hulk'n desktop computer I use only a laptop of the same power and config.
Mine, I disable Scheduled optimization/Auto Defrag,
and Indexing.
Tips starts 1.35
I like her!
Thanks mommy
Oh thank-you. Searching for same thing since I bought new device
Better yet jam in a RAID SSD board with 2 SSDs on it. Or 4.

Mam i have just brought an ssd and there's a label saying about P-65, which states the chemicals in SSD can be carcinogenic, should i worry and handle laptop carefully or is it normal?
Hello there and thank you for you're comment,. If it is a Kingston SSD, just know we make our products with quality materials to ensure the end user’s safety as our top priority. We also comply to the California Proposition 65 which you can learn more about here kings.tn/3LqXHUB
I Love Your Triforce Necklace Very Much :-)))))
does sleeping rather than shutting down laptop degrade ssd faster?
You're the tech version of Anna Akana and I'm loving it
SSDs do have a certain lifespan, but not like it will die before all your other components become outdated. Let's say you have a samsung 970 evo plus which will last 600TBW, and let's say you uninstall and reinstall GTA V on a daily basis, so you are writing and erasing 72G of data to your SSD every day (which is a ridiculous amount of data for normal daily usage). It would take you 23 years to drain that 600TBW at this rate. As long as your SSD isn't made by some wacky company, it will last just fine.
Brilliant comment and insight!
mu ssd kinstonv v300 since 2013 , still have 85 %
ohhh great again!!!
