The Solidigm™ Storage Tool shows estimated life remaining is lower than 100%

Explanation or Estimated Life Remaining.

Summary

  • The Solidigm™ Storage Tool shows the ‘Estimated Life Remaining’ below 100%.
  • This is expected, as the drive is used.

Resolution 

  • Due to the nature of NAND, it can only be erased/written (Program/Erase cycles or P/E cycles) a limited number of times.
  • The 'Estimated Life Remaining’ reflects the usage of the drive, decreasing from 100%, as it is used.
  • This is a calculation of when the drive will go into Read-Only mode.
