The most important component of your computer or laptop is the main data carrier, i.e. the SSD or hard drive on which your operating system is installed. If it fails, there is a risk of data loss. Regular data backups are essential.
No SSD or hard drive works forever. With just one click, you can see how far away you are from the failure of your data storage device with a small, free tool: CrystalDiskInfo
Its use is also recommended whenever you have bought a new or used device. CrystalDiskInfo not only shows the overall status, but also the number of operating hours and the number of read and write operations – and also how often the data carrier has been switched on and off.
You can download CrystalDiskInfo from the Internet here free of charge, without registration and without advertising:
