My SSD is about 76% Good: How long can it last? (2026-01-22)

SSD / NVMe Life Span

13,449 corresponds to about 1.55 years. Assuming the wear/decay is linear, this suggests the NVMe SSD in my Microsoft Surface Studio Pro laptop would have roughly another 4.9 years of usable life before replacement is likely.

SSD wear is not perfectly linear in real life. Factors like:

  • write volume (TBW),
  • OS swap usage,
  • firmware wear leveling,
  • workload changes over time

can speed up or slow down degradation.

But as a rough estimate, NVMe SSD should last around 6–7 years total, assuming similar usage continues.

Steem to the Moon🚀!
