Health of a SSD

[JLS]

What is the best program to test the health of my SSD on my laptop?

I have not tested any of the software that can be used for this purpose, however, the following links may be useful:

jdc2000's first link covers most of it (CrystalDiskInfo).

What brand of SSD do you have?

[JLS]

Midknyte, it is a Toshiba.

Hmm, the closest thing to a Toshiba SSD utility is probably from KIOXIA. Otherwise, CrystalDiskInfo would give the basic health.

Midknyte, after installing and running the Kioxia program, it said no drive available and could not click on the drop-down arrow on the right.

There was a list of compatible models. You didn't say what model your drive is, so that was just a guess.

I don't really see any Toshiba SSD utilities, so your best bet for drive status is CrystalDiskInfo.

I will use CrystalDiskInfo. Thanks.
