How does Windows 10 calculate the estimated remaining life of SSDs?Īccording to Microsoft, Windows 10 uses approximate percent used of manufacturer’s prediction of drive life to calculate the estimated remaining life of SSDs. These features currently support only internal NVMe SSDs only. No, the temperature and health monitoring functions are not available for external drives such as pen drives and memory cards. This means that you will not need to install third-party software to monitor the health of SSDs as Windows 10 also alerts users when the SSD is about to fail or its health deteriorates to a certain percentage. With the new feature, you can view the SSD health, available spare, and current temperature.
The good thing is that Windows 10 now offers (currently available in Windows 10 Insider build number 20226 and above only) you view more information about SSDs.
In addition to tools from SSD manufactures, there are numerous third-party applications around to monitor SSD health, performance, and temperature.
