SSD health check

WIndows Environments

in windows environments just type in cmd in order to check health of your ssd.

winsat disk -ran -write -drive [drive_letter]  

Linux

To run a write test, type this command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/tempfile bs=1M count=1024 conv=fdatasync

To test your disk's read speed next. The temporary file we created in the previous command is cached, giving you a bad result. So, you need to clear the cache beforehand by entering this:

sudo /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3

Now you're ready to test your disk's read speed with this command:

dd if=tempfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024
